[pviii] “Sketches indeed, from that most passionate page, A woman’s heart, of feelings, thoughts, that make The atmosphere in which her spirit moves; But like all other earthly elements, O’ercast with clouds; now dark, now touched with light, With rainbows, sunshine, showers, moonlight, stars, Chasing each other’s change. I fain would trace Its brightness and its blackness.”
