Part Four: Time and Eternity
XXXI
|
| DEATH is a dialogue between | |
| The spirit and the dust. | |
| Dissolve, says Death. The Spirit, Sir, | |
| I have another trust. | |
| |
| Death doubts it, argues from the ground. | 5 |
| The Spirit turns away, | |
| Just laying off, for evidence, | |
| An overcoat of clay. | |
