We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labour, and my leisure too, For his civility.

We paused before a house that seemed A swelling of the ground; The roof was scarcely visible, The cornice but a mound. Since then 'tis centuries; but each Feels shorter than the day I first surmised the horses' heads Were toward eternity.

Mummy is become merchandise.
