The axe’s edge, which makes it.—Is our life’s stuff

So different? All the joys and hopes of earth

Wrought of too coarse a fibre to invest

An inkling of that other unseen world,

Which hath this only entrance? Wherefore my mind

Wanders in wasteful contemplation back

O’er what I have done, pitifully seeking

To wear renewed the robe of those proud deeds,

To dream again her disappointed dreams;

And over all is Margaret, ever Margaret;
