Away, away!”

THE DYING GIRL AND FLOWERS.

“I desire as I look on these, the ornaments and children of earth, to know whether, indeed, such things I shall see no more?—whether they have no likeness, no archetype in the world in which my future home is to be cast? or whether they have their images above, only wrought in a more wondrous and delightful mould.”—

“Conversations with an ambitious Student in ill health.”

Bear them not from grassy dells

Where wild bees have honey-cells;

Not from where sweet water-sounds

Thrill the greenwood to its bounds;

Not to waste their scented breath

On the silent room of Death!
