" "
The mind which is immortal makes itself
Requital for its good or evil thoughts,
Is its own origin of ill and end,
And its own place and time; its innate sense,
When stripped of this mortality, derives
No colour from the fleeting things without,
But is absorb'd in sufferance or in joy,
Born from the knowledge of its own desert.

Where there is mystery, it is generally supposed there must be evil.

The light of love, the purity of grace,
The mind, the Music breathing from her face,
The heart whose softness harmonised the whole — And, oh! that eye was in itself a Soul!
