interlope

Idle Hope       And dire Remembrance interlope,   To vex the feverish slumbers of the mind:   The bubble floats before, the spectre stalks behind.

From Poems of Coleridge by Arthur Symons

Idle Hope, And dire Remembrance, interlope, And vex the feverish slumbers of the mind: The bubble floats before: the spectre stalks behind.

From Gryll Grange by Thomas Love Peacock

From Bart Ridgeley A Story of Northern Ohio by A. G. Riddle

Not here do human structures interlope The fir to rival, or the pine-tree's claim, The soul may revel in poetic flame Upon yon mountain's green and gentle slope.

From The Sonnets, Triumphs, and Other Poems of Petrarch by Thomas Campbell

Idle hope And dire remembrance interlope To vex the feverish slumbers of the mind: The bubble floats before, the spectre stalks behind.’
