("Ainsi, Lorsqu'Un Mortel!") [Xxxiv., May, 1828.] As When A Mortal - Genius' Prize, Alack! Is, Living, Bound Upon Thy Fatal Back, Thou Reinless Racing Steed! In Vain He Writhes, Mere Cloud Upon A Star, Thou Bearest Him As Went Mazeppa, Far Out Of The Flow'Ry Mead, - So - Though Thou Speed'St Implacable, (Like Him, Spent, Pallid, Torn, Bruised, Weary, Sore And Dim, As If Each Stride The Nearer Bring Him To The Grave) - When Comes The Time, After The Fall, He Rises - King!
