With all thy being re-arranged, Pass'd through the crucible of time ; vVith spirit vanish'd, beauty waned, And hardly yet a glance, a tone, A gesture — anything — retain'd Of all that was my Marguerite's own ? I will not know ! For wherefore try. To things by mortal course that live, A shadowy durability, For which they were not meant, to give ? Matthew Arnold 313 Like driftwood spars, which meot and pass Upon the bo...undless ocean-plain, So on the sea of life, alas I Man meets man — meets, and quits again.
