Religion and religion Just trying it out for both blanks. It's kind of close to both, a little more to the first one. |

unto the water
Continuing on my idea of "where rain doesn't make a difference".

Manfred
By George Gordon, Lord Byron
Act I
SCENE I. MANFRED alone -- Scene, a Gothic gallery -- Time, Midnight.
MANFRED
The lamp must be replenish'd, but even then
It will not burn so long as I must watch:
My slumbers -- if I slumber -- are not sleep,
But a continuance of enduring thought,
Which then I can resist not: in my heart
There is a vigil, and these eyes but close
To look within; and yet I live, and bear
The aspect and the form of breathing men.
But grief should be the instructor of the wise;
Sorrow is knowledge: they who know the most
Must mourn the deepest o'er the fatal truth,
The Tree of Knowledge is not that of Life.
Philosophy and science, and the springs
Of wonder, and the wisdom of the world,
I have essayed, and in my mind there is
A power to make these subject to itself--
But they _______ not: I have done men good,
And I have met with good even among men--
But this _______ not: I have had my foes,
And none have baffled, many fallen before me--
But this _______ not: -- Good, or evil, life,
Powers, passions, all I see in other beings,
Have been to me as rain unto the _______,
Since that all-nameless hour. I have no dread,
And feel the curse to have no natural fear,
Nor fluttering throb, that beats with hopes or wishes,
Or lurking love of something on the earth.--
Now to my _______.--

I think that's your best guess (though it may be debatable; you've had other close ones). |

No. A minor reason that contributes to my opinion about "work" is that it's the right number of syllables. (That phrase sounds a little funny when there's only one syllable.)
