Hither and thither spins
The wind-borne mirroring soul,
A thousand glimpses wins,
And never sees a whole.


Act I, sc. ii - Empedocles on Etna (1852)


Hither and thither spins The wind-borne mirroring soul, A thousand glimpses wins, And never sees a whole.

Hither and thither spins The wind-borne mirroring soul, A thousand glimpses wins, And never sees a whole.

Hither and thither spins The wind-borne mirroring soul, A thousand glimpses wins, And never sees a whole.
