When half our soul and all our senses sink From dream to dream down Deathward, slain with sleep, How may faith hold assurance fast, or keep Her power to cast out fear for love's sake?
"Locrine - A Tragedy"
Algernon Charles Swinburne
When day shall drive not night from heaven, and night Shall chase not day to Deathward, then shall dust Be constant-and the stars endure the sight Of dawn that shall not slay them.
"Locrine - A Tragedy"
Algernon Charles Swinburne
These two tendencies we may describe as the Deathward and the lifeward respectively.
