AMBERGRIS
FROM MYSTERIES
Perdurabo
Exile from humankind ! The snows fresh flakes
Are warmer than mens hearts. My mind is wrought
Into dark shapes of solitary thought
That loves and sympathises, but awakes
No answering love or pity. What a pang
Hath this strange solitude to aggravate
The self-abasement and the blows of Fate !
No snake of hell that so severe a fang !
I am not lower than all menI feel
Too keenly. Yet my place is not above,
Though I have thisunalterable Love
In every fibre. I am crucified
Apart on a long burning crag of steel,
Tortured, cast out ; and yetI shall abide
