QUEST.I CHASE a shadow through the night,A shadow unavailing;Out of the dark, into the light,I follow, follow: is it she?Against the wall of sea outlined,Outlined against the windows lit,The shadow flickers, and behindI follow, follow after it.The shadow leads me through the nightTo the grey margin of the sea;Out of the dark, into the light,I follow unavailingly.
