The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 1

Note B — A DRAMA OF EXILE.

Reading edition

I hope that the preceding zodiacal signs—transferred to the earthly shadow and representative purpose—of Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricornus, and Pisces, are sufficiently obvious to the reader.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
