Note 405 — CANTO THE FOURTH[375]
Reading edition
{346} [Compare Bishop Blougram's lament on the instability of unfaith—
"Just when we are safest, there's a sunset-touch, A fancy from a flower-bell, some one's death, A chorus-ending from Euripides,— And that's enough for fifty hopes and fears. To rap and knock and enter in our soul, Take hands and dance there."
Browning's Poetical Works, 1869, v. 268.]
