Beauty vanishes like a vapor,
Preach the men of musty morals.

Evanescence (1900)

A place of dream, the Holy Land
Hangs midway between earth and heaven.

Ah, happy world, where all things live
Creatures of one great law, indeed;
Bound by strong roots, the splendid flower,—
Swept by great seas, the drifting seed!

The awful phantom of the hungry poor.
