Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning
And black like plumes at funerals overhead You might behold the lightning faintly gleam Amid the clouds which thrill and gape aside, And straight again shut up their solemn jaws, As if to interpose between Heaven's wrath And Earth's despair. Interposition brief! Darkness is gathering out her mighty pall Above us, and the pent-up rain is loosed, Down trampling in its fierce delirium.
