“A speck that would have been beneath my sight
On any but a paper sheet so white
Set off across what I had written there.”

“Ask us, ask us whether with the worldless rose
Our hearts shall fail us; come demanding
Whether there shall be lofty or long standing
When the bronze annals of the oak-tree close.”
