[406]. "One held a Shell unto his Shell-like Ear." (line 6)

... Gather a shell from the strown beach

And listen at its lips: they sigh

The same desire and mystery,

The echo of the whole sea's speech.

And all mankind is thus at heart

Not anything but what thou art:

And Earth, Sea, Man, are all in each.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

[407]. "Like Solemn Apparitions Lulled Sublime To Everlasting Rest." (line 11)
