Excerpt from The Tragedy of Israel, Vol. 2 The hand falls wearily that did essay With little skill in clear marmorial form The Dark Souls mighty agonies to shape, And the vast vision which my life uplifted Beyond itself in sympathetic thought, Parts from me like a curl of summer cloud, Drifts, and is gone, and, starting, I behold Rome's stubborn majesty and mask of mind, - Colossal glories, - here! .. Ah, what am I, To mould amid Art's empire, or to dare To sing of great deeds where the great have sung? My heart swoons in me. Yet will I arise, And, with hope humbled, back into my breast Draw the fair purpose, labouring to the end. O, sweet the toil, O, sweet as to the birds Building in April! Even as the birds, Love-driven, I build, and, what though rough the craft, Joyous I build, and do not the wild doves Around the Colosseum make their nests, The swallows do the domes of Angelo?
