第 339 頁 - Here she was wont to go! and here! and here! Just where those daisies, pinks, and violets grow, The world may find the spring by following her, Swinburne.
第 346 頁 - Nature's second sun Causing a spring of virtues where he shines; And as without the sun, the world's great eye, All colours, beauties, both of art and Nature, Are given in vain to men, so without love All beauties bred in women are in vain, All virtues born in men lie buried; For love informs them as the sun doth colours...
