THE BROKEN BRIDGE

Оглавление

Table of Contents

Under the long unbroken stress the bridge

Collapsed, and hurled the company to disaster

Into the black gulf of the roaring torrent ...

The regiment of thoughts that over his brain

Had marched so long in orderly array

From ridge to perilous ridge

Was stricken with dismay,

And fell

Pell-mell

In frantic disarray

Into the hurtling and abhorrent

Gulf of the swirling and insane

Furies of darkness, rushing fast and faster

Through labyrinthine corridors of hell ...

And yet to us that bridge had seemed to be

Rock-founded and secure, a Roman way

On which in orderly array

From ridge to perilous ridge

Of eagle-haunted regions

His thoughts’ unchallengeable legions

Might march for ever and a day,

Might march through time into eternity!
