Title: The Prelude to Adventure Author: Hugh Walpole Release Date: August 20, 2006 [EBook #19085] Language: English
Up vistaed hopes I sped; And shot, precipitated Adown Titanic glooms of chasmed fears, From those strong Feet that followed, followed after. But with unhurrying chase, And unperturbed pace, Deliberate speed, majestic instancy, They beat—and a Voice beat More instant than the Feet— All things betray thee, who betrayest Me.
