XXVIII. Contrast.
A DOOR just opened on a street --
I, lost, was passing by --
An instant's width of warmth disclosed,
And wealth, and company.
The door as sudden shut, and I,
I, lost, was passing by, --
Lost doubly, but by contrast most,
Enlightening misery.
I. Life
II. Love
III. Nature
IV. Time and Eternity
