Now press the clarion on thy woman's lip,
(Love's holy kiss shall still keep consecrate,)
And breathe the fine, keen breath along the brass,
And blow all class-walls level as Jericho's
Past Jordan.... The world's old;
But the old world waits the hour to be renewed.
AURORA LEIGH.
_Two_ of far nobler shape, erect and tall,--
Godlike erect, with native honor clad
In naked majesty,--_seemed lords of all:_
_And worthy seemed;_ for in their looks divine
The image of their glorious Maker shone,--
Truth, wisdom, sanctitude severe and pure;
Whence true authority in men.
MILTON.
