Yet to the wondrous St Peter's and yet to the solemn Rotunda	A
Mingling with heroes and gods yet to the Vatican Walls	B
Yet may we go and recline while a whole mighty world seems above us	C
Gathered and fixed to all time into one roofing supreme	D
Yet may we thinking on these things exclude what is meaner around us	C
Yet at the worst of the worst books and a chamber remain	E
Yet may we think and forget and possess our souls in resistance	F
Ah but away from the stir shouting and gossip of war	G
Where upon Apennine slope with the chestnut the oak trees immingle	H
Where amid odorous copse bridle paths wander and wind	I
Where under mulberry branches the diligent rivulet sparkles	J
Or amid cotton and maize peasants their water works ply	H
Where over fig tree and orange in tier upon tier still repeated	K
Garden on garden upreared balconies step to the sky	H
Ah that I were far away from the crowd and the streets of the city	L
Under the vine trellis laid O my beloved with thee	L

I Mary Trevellyn to Miss Roper on the way to Florence	F
	-
Why doesn't Mr Claude come with us you ask We don't know	M
You should know better than we He talked of the Vatican marbles	J
But I can't wholly believe that this was the actual reason	N
He was so ready before when we asked him to come and escort us	C
Certainly he is odd my dear Miss Roper To change so	M
Suddenly just for a whim was not quite fair to the party	L
Not quite right I declare I really almost am offended	O
I his great friend as you say have doubtless a title to be so	M
Not that I greatly regret it for dear Georgina distinctly	L
Wishes for nothing so much as to show her adroitness But oh my	H
Pen will not write any more let us say nothing further about it	P
	-
Yes my dear Miss Roper I certainly called him repulsive	Q
So I think him but cannot be sure I have used the expression	N
Quite as your pupil should yet he does most truly repel me	L
Was it to you I made use of the word or who was it told you	R
Yes repulsive observe it is but when he talks of ideas	S
That he is quite unaffected and free and expansive and easy	L
I could pronounce him simply a cold intellectual being	T
When does he make advances He thinks that women should woo him	U
Yet if a girl should do so would be but alarmed and disgusted	O
She that should love him must look for small love in return like the ivy	L
On the stone wall must expect but a rigid and niggard support and	V
E'en to get that must go searching all round with her humble embraces	W

II Claude to Eustace from Rome	X
	-
Tell me my friend do you think that the grain would sprout in the furrow	M
Did it not truly accept as its summum and ultimum bonum	Y
That mere common and may be indifferent soil it is set in	Z
Would it have force to develop and open its young cotyledons	W
Could it compare and reflect and examine one thing with another	A2
Would it endure to accomplish the round of its natural functions	W
Were it endowed with a sense of the general scheme of existence	W
While from Marseilles in the steamer we voyage to Civita Vecchia	B2
Vexed in the squally seas as we lay by Capraja and Elba	C2
Standing uplifted alone on the heaving poop of the vessel	H
Looking around on the waste of the rushing incurious billows	W
'This is Nature ' I said 'we are born as it were from her waters	W
Over her billows that buffet and beat us her offspring uncared for	G
Casting one single regard of a painful victorious knowledge	D2
Into her billows that buffet and beat us we sink and are swallowed '	-
This was the sense in my soul as I swayed with the poop of the steamer	A2
And as unthinking I sat in the hall of the famed Ariadne	L
Lo it looked at me there from the face of a Triton in marble	H
It is the simpler thought and I can believe it the truer	A2
Let us not talk of growth we are still in our Aqueous Ages	W

III Claude to Eustace	W
	-
Farewell Politics utterly What can I do I cannot	E2
Fight you know and to talk I am wholly ashamed And although I	H
Gnash my teeth when I look in your French or your English papers	W
What is the good of that Will swearing I wonder mend matters	W
Cursing and scolding repel the assailants No it is idle	H
No whatever befalls I will hide will ignore or forget it	P
Let the tail shift for itself I will bury my head And what's the	A
Roman Republic to me or I to the Roman Republic	F2
Why not fight In the first place I haven't so much as a musket	G2
In the next if I had I shouldn't know how I should use it	P
In the third just at present I'm studying ancient marbles	W
In the fourth I consider I owe my life to my country	L
In the fifth I forget but four good reasons are ample	H
Meantime pray let 'em fight and be killed I delight in devotion	N
So that I 'list not hurrah for the glorious army of martyrs	W
Sanguis martyrum semen Ecclesiae though it would seem this	W
Church is indeed of the purely Invisible Kingdom come kind	I
Militant here on earth Triumphant of course then elsewhere	H2
Ah good Heaven but I would I were out far away from the pother	H2

IV Claude to Eustace	W
	-
Not as we read in the words of the olden time inspiration	N
Are there two several trees in the place we are set to abide in	Z
But on the apex most high of the Tree of Life in the Garden	N
Budding unfolding and falling decaying and flowering ever	H2
Flowering is set and decaying the transient blossom of Knowledge	D2
Flowering alone and decaying the needless unfruitful blossom	Y
Or as the cypress spires by the fair flowing stream Hellespontine	N
Which from the mythical tomb of the godlike Protesilaus	W
Rose sympathetic in grief to his love lorn Laodamia	Y
Evermore growing and when in their growth to the prospect attaining	T
Over the low sea banks of the fatal Ilian city	L
Withering still at the sight which still they upgrow to encounter	H2
Ah but ye that extrude from the ocean your helpless faces	W
Ye over stormy seas leading long and dreary processions	W
Ye too brood of the wind whose coming is whence we discern not	E2
Making your nest on the wave and your bed on the crested billow	M
Skimming rough waters and crowding wet sands that the tide shall return to	R
Cormorants ducks and gulls fill ye my imagination	N
Let us not talk of growth we are still in our Aqueous Ages	W

V Mary Trevellyn to Miss Roper from Florence	W
	-
Dearest Miss Roper Alas we are all at Florence quite safe and	V
You we hear are shut up indeed it is sadly distressing	T
We were most lucky they say to get off when we did from the troubles	W
Now you are really besieged they tell us it soon will be over	H2
Only I hope and trust without any fight in the city	L
Do you see Mr Claude I thought he might do something for you	R
I am quite sure on occasion he really would wish to be useful	H
What is he doing I wonder still studying Vatican marbles	W
Letters I hope pass through We trust your brother is better	H2

VI Claude to Eustace	W
	-
Juxtaposition in fine and what is juxtaposition	N
Look you we travel along in the railway carriage or steamer	H2
And pour passer le temps till the tedious journey be ended	O
Lay aside paper or book to talk with the girl that is next one	N
And pour passer le temps with the terminus all but in prospect	I2
Talk of eternal ties and marriages made in heaven	N
Ah did we really accept with a perfect heart the illusion	N
Ah did we really believe that the Present indeed is the Only	L
Or through all transmutation all shock and convulsion of passion	N
Feel we could carry undimmed unextinguished the light of our knowledge	D2
But for his funeral train which the bridegroom sees in the distance	W
Would he so joyfully think you fall in with the marriage procession	N
But for that final discharge would he dare to enlist in that service	W
But for that certain release ever sign to that perilous contract	J2
But for that exit secure ever bend to that treacherous doorway	K2
