Of the Countess—once Miss Kilmansegg—

But there all sunshine is ended.

CCXCIV.

Her cheek is pale, and her eye is dim,

And downward cast, yet not at the limb,

Once the centre of all speculation;

But downward dropping in comfort's dearth,

As gloomy thoughts are drawn to the earth—

Whence human sorrows derive their birth—

By a moral gravitation.
