This passion lifted him upon his feet, And made his hands to struggle in the air, His Druid locks to shake and ooze with sweat,

His eyes to fever out, his voice to cease. He stood, and heard not Thea's sobbing deep;

A little time, and then again he snatch'd
Utterance thus.-" But cannot I create?
Cannot I form? Cannot I fashion forth
Another world, another universe,
To overbear and crumble this to nought?
Where is another chaos? Where?"—
That word
[quake
Found way unto Olympus, and made
The rebel three.-Thea was startled up,
And in her bearing was a sort of hope,
As thus she quick-voic'd spake, yet full
of awe.
