“Doubt/Never stunned the marrow in their bones/Who rose above the merely physical,/And if they faltered, it was only once—”
They made their grim, sad faces and went out,
Out into cold flurries of the snow, and ice,
And saw the glaciers perfecting time
In all their strange, enormous beauty. Doubt
Never stunned the marrow in their bones
Who rose above the merely physical,
And if they faltered, it was only once—
On finding death incomprehensible.
