    Very nice Colleen!

    “Then too, when fate shall thy fair frame destroy,
    (That cause of all my guilt, and all my joy)
    In trance ecstatic may thy pangs be drown’d,
    Bright clouds descend, and angels watch thee round,
    From op’ning skies may streaming glories shine,
    And saints embrace thee with a love like mine.”

  • You’re much cleverer than me, David – I only knew the line ‘deep solitudes and awful cells’ because I love the sound and mystery of it! Well done :))
