Clarel — Part 1, Canto 27: Matron and Maid
(1876)
“ Faith, ravished, followed Fancy's path In more of bliss than nature hath. But ah, the dream to test by deed, To seek to handle the ideal And make a sentiment serve need: 70 To try to realize the unreal! ”
Herman Melville,
Clarel — Part 1, Canto 27: Matron and Maid
(1876)
“ Not feel a kin emotion bred 15 At glimpse of face of countryman Tho' stranger? Yes, a Jewess--born In Gentile land where nature's wreath Exhales the first creation's breath-- The waste of Judah made her lorn. ”
