Chapter Fourteen

1. This verse has not been identified.

2. In your stupidity I found
The sweet hush after a sweet sound.
[Ten lines omitted.]
And when you thought, it seemed to me
Infinitely, and like a sea
About the slight world you had known
Your vast unconsciousness was thrown.

From Retrospect. Rupert Brooke.
