Σελίδα 141 - Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till, by br oad spreading, it disperse to naught.
Σελίδα 150 - That did love Beauty, only (Beauty seen In all varieties of mould and mind,) And Knowledge for its beauty ; or if Good, Good only for its beauty, seeing not That Beauty, Good, and Knowledge are three sisters That dote upon each other, friends to man, Living together under the same roof, And never can be sunder'd without tears...
