| God be thank’d, the meanest of his creatures | |
| Boasts two soul-sides, one to face the world with, |
|
| One to show a woman when he loves her. | |
| |
| This I say of me, but think of you, Love! | |
| This to you—yourself my moon of poets! | |
| Ah, but that ’s the world’s side—there ’s the wonder— | |
| Thus they see you, praise you, think they know you. |
|
| There in turn I stand with them and praise you, | |
| Out of my own self, I dare to phrase it. | |
| But the best is when I glide from out them, | |
| Cross a step or two of dubious twilight, | |
| Come out on the other side, the novel |
|
| Silent silver lights and darks undream’d of, | |
Where I hush and bless myself with silence.
One Word More (Robert Browning)
