Coventry Patmore - The Spirit`s DepthsCoventry Patmore - The Spirit`s Depths
Work rating: Low


    Not in the crisis of events       Of compass`d hopes, or fears fulfill`d,     Or acts of gravest consequence,       Are life`s delight and depth reveal`d.     The day of days was not the day;       That went before, or was postponed;     The night Death took our lamp away       Was not the night on which we groan`d.     I drew my bride, beneath the moon,     Across my threshold; happy hour!   But, ah, the walk that afternoon     We saw the water-flags in flower!
