A lawlessness about her laws,
More mood than purpose in her work.

Firmly her aspect. All the while,
There gleams upon her far-off face
A vague unfathomable smile.

Friendship, 'tis said, is love without his wings,
And friendship, sir, is sweet enough for me.

Doth Nature draw me, 'tis because, Unto my seeming, there doth lurk A lawlessness about her laws, More mood than purpose in her work. - Alfred Austin
