Thou speakest darkly, Angel! and an awe
Falls on me, and a fear lest I be rash.
Angel
There was a mortal, who is now above
In the mid glory: he, when near to die,
Was given communion with the Crucified,—
Such, that the Master's very wounds were stamped
599Upon his flesh;[29] and, from the agony
Which thrilled through body and soul in that embrace
Learn that the flame of the Everlasting Love
