PAOLO È FRANCESCA.

By Sarah Chauncey Woolsey

THE mighty blast which sweeps and girdles hell

Drives us before it, whither none may tell.

No pause, no goal, no time of respite,— well,

We are together!

Circling forever in a dark abyss,

Linked by a fate as wild as passionless,

One only thing is left us,— it is this:

We are together!
