"Aurora the Magnificent"
Gertrude Hall
Then had the earth beneath me yawning given Sign of convulsion; and tho' horrid rifts Sent up the moaning of unhappy spirits Imprison'd in her centre, with the heat Of their infolding element; had the angels, The watchers at heaven's gate, push'd them apart, And from the golden threshold had down-roll'd Their heaviest thunder, I had lain as still, And blind and motionless as then I lay!
"The Suppressed Poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson"
Alfred Lord Tennyson
These are my imperishable relics; these are the deeds of my life that I shall love best to look back on, when the all-infolding shadows of death are closing round me.
"The Two Destinies"
Wilkie Collins
