R. Buchanan (Balder the Beautiful).
Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep—
He hath awakened from the dream of life—
’Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable life.
Shelley (Adonaïs XXXIX).
Have you found your life distasteful?
My life did—and does—smack sweet.
