  • Tis aye a solemn thing to me
    To look upon a babe that sleeps--
    Wearing in its spirit-deeps
    The unrevealed mystery
    Of its Adam's taint and woe,
    Which, when they revealed lie,
    Will not let it slumber so.

    Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning “The Brownings' Correspondence: January 1838-December 1840, letters 602-783”
