Poem by George Meredith

Alternation

Between the fountain and the rill
I passed, and saw the mighty will
To leap at sky; the careless run,
As earth would lead her little son.

Beneath them throbs an urgent well,
That here is play, and there is war.
I know not which had most to tell
Of whence we spring and what we are.

3. Empdeocles
4. Angela Burdett-Coutts
5. At the Funeral
