 To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable. |
| Fear and dull disposition, luke warmness and sloth, are not seldom wont to cloak themselves under the affected name of Moderation. |
| The melting voice through mazes running;/ Untwisting all the chains that tie / The hidden soul of harmony. |
| Servant of God, well done; well hast thou fought The better fight |
| How charming is divine philosophy! Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose, But musical as is Apollo's lute, And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets Where no crude surfeit reigns |
| The brazen throat of war had ceased to roar, / All now was turned to jollity and game,/ To luxury and riot, feast and dance. |
| The sun to me is dark / And silent as the moon, / When she deserts the night / Hid in her vacant, interlunar cave. |
| Fairy damsels met in forest wide / By knights of Logres, or of Lyones, / Lancelot or Pelleas, or Pellenore. |
| Thus with the year / Seasons return, but not to me returns / Day, or the sweet approach of ev'n or morn, / Or sight of vernal bloom, or summer's rose, / Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine. |
| So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed, / And yet anon repairs his drooping head, / And tricks his beams, and with new-spangled ore, / Flames in the forehead of the morning sky. |
| Fairy elves, / Whose midnight revels, by a forest side / Or fountain, some belated peasant sees, / Or dreams he sees, while overhead the moon / Sits arbitress. |
| Sweet the coming on / Of grateful evening mild; then silent night / With this her solemn bird and this fair moon, / And these the gems of heaven, her starry train. |
| Sabrina fair, / Listen where thou art sitting/ Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave, / In twisted braids of lilies knitting / The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair. |
| His form had yet not lost / All her original brightness, nor appeared / Less than archangel ruined, and th' excess / Of glory obscured. |
| Thence up he flew, and on the Tree of Life,/ The middle tree and highest there that grew, / Sat like a cormorant. |
