[XXXVIII], [XCIII] and [XCIV]

I quote again from Omar, Fitzgerald’s version, quatrain 44:

“Why, if the Soul can fling the dust aside,

And naked on the air of Heaven ride,

Were’t not a shame—were’t not a shame for him

In this clay carcass crippled to abide?”

And from Heron-Allen’s, quatrain 145:

“O Soul, if thou canst purify thyself from the dust of the clay,

Thou, naked spirit, canst soar in the heav’ns,

The Empyrian is thy sphere—let it be thy shame
