"Such must have been his history, who first Cut this sad hermitage within the rock: Some spirit-broken and world-weary man, Whose love was in the grave—whose hope in heaven. Yet a fine nature must have been his own ; A sense of beauty—and a strong delight In the brave seeming of the visible world, Whose loveliness is like a sympathy."
