People say, you know, Henry James can't move

  

  

  

   

  Possibly it's be-

  cause he has come

  rather a long way.

     To walk in quest of any

     object that one has more

     or less tenderly dreamed

     of, to find your way, to

     steal upon it softly, to

     see at last, if it be

     church or castle, the 

     tower-tops peeping above

     elms or beeches - to push

     forward with a rush, and

     emerge and pause and draw

     that first long breath

     which is the compromise be-

     tween so many sensations:
