Death's little rift hath rent the faultless lute: The singer of undying songs is dead.
Pagina 369 - How will you ever straighten up this shape; Touch it again with immortality; Give back the upward looking and the light; Rebuild in it the music and the dream; Make right the immemorial infamies, Perfidious wrongs, immedicable woes?
