It is the time of the Crucifixion: and the Father of the Crucified has directed towards earth the angels of His heaven, of whom all have departed except the two Seraphim Ador and Zerah. The place is the outer side of the shut heavenly gate. There stand the Seraphim. Ador the Strong lias unfurled the thundercloud of his wing; but Zerah the Bright One lingers still, now looking backward to his heavenly habitation, and now upward to his brother's face. Ador. O Seraph, pause no more! Beside this gate of heaven we stand alone. Zerah. This gate of heaven! Ador. Our brother hosts are gone Zerah. Are gone! the golden harps, as ne'er before, Still burning from our clasped motion And tuned breath of rapt devotion, Lie without a touch or tone, Or canopy of angel wing, Upon the glass-sea shore! Ador. Instead of sounding, glittering." In the shadow from the throne--The shadow without form, that resteth on The broad and crystal sea--Awfuller than light derived, And red with primal heats whereby all life hath lived. Zerah. Our visible of God! our heaven! and we Go thus! Ador. Thus, now, beloved! unpausingly. Beneath us sinks the pomp angelical--The roar of whose descent hath died To a still sound, as thunder into rain! Th' immeasurable space seems magnified With that thick life; whereof we nought retain In vision, save the pale and eddying fall Of wings innumerous, brightly crossed By lines of hair that hath not lost The glitter of the God-smile shed Last, on bowed angel's head! And gleamed between by hands that fling Homages like upward rays, From constant habitude of praise And high instinct of worshipping. Zerah. Rapidly they drop below us. Pointed palm and wing and hair, Indistinguishable, show us Only pulses in the...

Elizabeth Barrett Browning was one of the most prominent English poets of the Victorian era. In the 1830s Elizabeth's cousin John Kenyon introduced her to prominent literary figures of the day such as William Wordsworth, Mary Russell Mitford, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Alfred Tennyson and Thomas Carlyle. Her first adult collection, The Seraphim and Other Poems, was published in 1838. During this time she contracted a disease, possibly tuberculosis, which weakened her further. Living at Wimpole Street, in London, she wrote prolifically between 1841 and 1844, producing poetry, translation and prose. She campaigned for the abolition of slavery and her work helped influence reform in the child labour legislation. Her prolific output made her a rival to Tennyson as a candidate for poet laureate on the death of Wordsworth. Barrett Browning was widely popular in the U.K. and America during her lifetime. American poet Edgar Allan Poe was inspired by her poem Lady Geraldine's Courtship and specifically borrowed the poem's meter for his poem The Raven. Poe had reviewed Barrett Browning's work in the January 1845 issue of the Broadway Journal and said that "her poetic inspiration is the highest - we can conceive of nothing more august. Her sense of Art is pure in itself." In return, she praised The Raven and Poe dedicated his 1845 collection The Raven and Other Poems to her, referring to her as "the noblest of her sex." Her poetry greatly influenced Emily Dickinson, who admired her as a woman of achievement. Her popularity in the United States and Britain was further advanced by her stands against social injustice, including slavery in the United States, injustice toward Italian citizens by foreign rulers, and child labour.
