Work rating: Low


THE SAME CONTINUED Clutching the brink with hands and feet and knees, With trembling heart, and eyes grown strangely dim, A part thyself and parcel of the frieze Of that colossal temple raised to Time, To gaze on horror, till, as in a crime, Thou and the rocks become accomplices. There is no voice, no life `twixt thee and them. No life! Yet, look, far down upon the breeze Something has passed across the bosom bare Of the red rocks, a leaf, a shape, a shade. A living shadow! Ay, above thee there, Weaving majestic circles overhead, Others are watching.--This is the sublime To be alone, with eagles in the air.
