Christina Rossetti — Cobwebs

It is a land with neither night nor day,    Nor heat nor cold, nor any wind, nor rain,    Nor hills nor valleys; but one even plain Stretches thro’ long unbroken miles away: While thro’ the sluggish air a twilight grey    Broodeth; no moons or seasons wax and wane,    No ebb and flow are there along the main, No bud-time no leaf-falling, there for aye:— No ripple on the sea, no shifting sand,    No beat of wings to stir the stagnant space, No pulse of life thro’ all the loveless land: And loveless sea; no trace of days before,    No guarded home, no toil-won resting place, No future hope no fear for evermore.
