It is no act of common passage, but
A strain of rareness.
The bird of passage known to us as the cuckoo.
How commentators each dark passage shun,
And hold their farthing candle to the sun.
E'en like the passage of an angel's tear
That falls through the clear ether silently.
He was one of a lean body and visage, as if his eager soul, biting for anger at the clog of his body, desired to fret a passage through it.
