Note 8 — BANTOCK

Swinburne devised an ingenious embroidery on this exquisite fragment in his "On the Cliffs."

"I loved thee.—hark, one tenderer note than all— Atthis, of old time, once—one low, long fall, Sighing—one long, low, lovely, loveless call. Dying—one pause in song so flamelike fast— Atthis, long since in old time overpast— One soft first pause and last. One.—then the old rage of rapture's fieriest rain Storms all the music-maddened night again."
