A rock on sea-sand, whence the sea hath retired, and no longer claspeth and loveth it;
A hollow oak with the heart riven thereout, living by the bark alone;
A dark star;
A bird with both wings broken;
A Dryad in a place where no trees are;
A brook that never reacheth the sea;
A mountain without sunrise thereon and without springs therein;
A wave that runneth on forever, to no shore;
A raindrop suspended between Heaven and Earth, arrested in his course;
A bud, that will never open;
