Horatio turned him quickly to the wall, And deeply scanned a shallow picture there j For he had seen the tear about to fall From swollen o'ertasked eyelids, and would spare Himself and her, — Soon at his side a tall Pale woman stood, of whose black eye a glare, Wild, restless, had one-half the lustre drunk ; The other back into the brain had sunk.
XXVII.
Each feature fine was shrunken by a scar Cut by the crushing of three several crowns, An arch'd head circling once and reigning far.
The token...s of the choice of earth's renowns By woman earned, each centred by a star That with its light all other radiance drowns, — The holy royalties of feminine life.
Clasping the brow of daughter, mother, wife.
ELLEN. 21 XXVIII.
In this fast-lapsing crowded desolation, — A noble visage marred, — beauty still throned, As mid the iconoclastic devastation Of passionate throng that will not be postponed, And wreaks itself in vaporous elation On statue-peopled temple, some still-zoned Melonian Venus stands, maimed, blackened, pelted, Erect, with all her fallen trophies belted.
