“Rumble thy bellyful! Spit, fire! Spout, rain!
Nor rain, wind, thunder, fire are my daughters.
I tax you not, you elements, with unkindness;
I never gave you kingdom, called you children.”

“Only a still place
and perhaps some outer horror
some hideousness to stamp beauty,
a mark no changing it now
on our hearts.”
