Excerpt from Eric: Or the Fall of a Crown

This story, like a fair Pompeian lamp Its bronze time-eaten and its oil long spent I fill again, remembering how it went Of old in Beauty's hand, through gloom and damp Of prison corridors. Our spirits cramp Too often when in such strict confines bent Too often, at our best, we but revamp Old fabrics, fill old lamps. To this extent, At least, I ask you, bear with such a theme. A royal garment and a royal light I bring you, worthy of no faint esteem If once their meaning strike upon your sight For we ourselves are patterns of a dream 'and need equipment for this earth's long night. S. A. W. D.
