The earth itself has slept,as it were its first,not its last sleep,save when some street sign or woodhouse door has faintly creaked upon its hinge,cheering forlorn nature at her midnight work_the only sound awake twixt Venus and Mars _advertising us of a remote inward warmth,a divine cheer and fellowship ,wheregods are met together,but where it is very bleak for men to stand. I don't understand the above sentence, you can help me???
