"What can the dove of Jesus give

You now but wisdom, exile? Stand and live,

The dove has brought an olive branch to eat."

Here the dove may signify not only the Holy Spirit but also the avian messenger of hope to Noah after the deluge. Lowell’s life was flooded in several respects...by his mania, by his imagination and by his religious impulses.

interesting man!
