Arthur : A tragedy
Trances that touched the mortal sense of Time

To nothing; and Eternity looked in

To the inmost of my soul,

There seemed no lifting of a hand but had

Its shadow vast in heaven——

Guenevere

Guenevere

We are sinners all.

Put these black dreams behind you——

Launcelot

Launcelot

And no deed

But, like a wave that writes upon the sand

Ebbed from its naked witness, I remembered

What in the fault and soilure of our nature

I have wrought amiss. Guenevere, I am afraid

To see my very self, as God sees it.

Guenevere

Guenevere

That is God’s business. He has made us flesh.
