Chapter XIX
IN MANNER DECIDEDLY SUMMARY Then twice and thrice the youth’s parched lips Strive hard to frame the longed-for word; And twice and thrice he tries again, Yet not a single sound is heard. There’s just an upward flash of eyes Like starlight in a forest pool; She may have said, “Take heart, dear one!” She may have said, “Go on, thou fool!”
