Dante Gabriel Rossetti - The NevermoreDante Gabriel Rossetti - The Nevermore
Work rating: Medium


Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been;   I am also called No-more, Too-late, Farewell;   Unto thine ear I hold the dead-sea shell Cast up thy Life`s foam-fretted feet between; Unto thine eyes the glass where that is seen   Which had Life`s form and Love`s, but by my spell   Is now a shaken shadow intolerable, Of ultimate things unuttered the frail screen. Mark me, how still I am! But should there dart   One moment through my soul the soft surprise   Of that winged Peace which lulls the breath of sighs,-- Then shalt thou see me smile, and turn apart Thy visage to mine ambush at thy heart   Sleepless with cold commemorative eyes.
