The Pool And The Soul.
("Comme dans les tangs.") [X., May, 1839.] As in some stagnant pool by forest-side, In human souls two things are oft descried; The sky, - which tints the surface of the pool With all its rays, and all its shadows cool; The basin next, - where gloomy, dark and deep, Through slime and mud black reptiles vaguely creep.
