And the reality
Between the motion
And the act

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long
Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
For Thine is

And the first motion, all the interm is
Like a phantasma, or hideous dream:

Are then in council; and the state of men,
Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
The nature of an insurrection.
