An End of Travel




Let now your soul in this substantial world
Some anchor strike. Be here the body moored;--
This spectacle immutably from now
The picture in your eye; and when time strikes,
And the green scene goes on the instant blind--
The ultimate helpers, where your horse to-day
Conveyed you dreaming, bear your body dead.
