I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them. - Robert Bridges

When Death to either shall come—
I pray it be first to me.

Angels’ song, comforting
as the comfort of Christ
When he spake tenderly
to his sorrowful flock.

Man's Reason is in such deep insolvency to sense,
that tho' she guide his highest flight heav'nward, and teach him
dignity morals manners and human comfort,
she can delicatly and dangerously bedizen
the rioting joys that fringe the sad pathways of Hell.
