Of madness—terrible and wonderful!

There was no passion there—no feeling traced

Under those eyelids, where had run to waste

All that was wild, or beautiful, or bright;

A very cloud was cast upon their light,

That gave to them the heavy hue of lead;

And they were lorn, lustreless, and dead!

He sate like vulture from the mountains gray,

Unsated, that had flown full many a day

O’er distant land and sea, and was in pride
