Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been;           #57
                                     I am also call'd No-more, Too-late, Farewell;
                                     Unto thine ear I hold the dead-sea shell
                                 Cast up thy Life's foam-fretted feet between;
                                 Unto thine eyes the glass where that is seen
                                     Which had Life's form and Love's, but by my spell
                                     Is now a shaken shadow intolerable,
                                 Of ultimate things unutter'd the frail screen.

                                 Mark me, how still I am! But should there dart
                                   One moment through thy soul the soft surprise
                                   Of that wing'd Peace which lulls the breath of sighs,--
                               Then shalt thou see me smile, and turn apart
                               Thy visage to mine ambush at thy heart
                                   Sleepless with cold commemorative eyes.
                                                    --Dante Gabriel Rossetti               CLICK FOR #58
