"Where shall we, now, those bright Ideas find, / That peopled Thought, from thy creating Mind?"
Metaphor in Context
Where's now th' unconscious Heart, that cou'd descend,
To bless my Wishes, with the Name of Friend!
Senceless, and cold, 'twill, now, no longer move,
At Pity's tender Voice, or weeping Love!
Where shall we, now, those bright Ideas find,
That peopled Thought, from thy creating Mind?
Death has turn'd back the intercepted Store:
But thy Fame lives, and thou can'st die no more.
Such Immortality Thy Friendship gave;
For none, whom Delia sung, can fear the Grave.
(I, p. 447)
