The dust - of sunlight
The mouth of a young girl, like a violet
But gold - smells of nothing.”

Of the larch and pine;

Solitude and shrine, —

Yet our full-leaved willows are in the freshest green.

“True Love in this differs from gold and clay,
That to divide is not to take away.
Love is like understanding, that grows bright,
Gazing on many truths; 'tis like thy light,
Imagination! which from earth and sky,
And from the depths of human phantasy,
As from a thousand prisms and mirrors, fills
The Universe with glorious beams, and kills
Error, the worm, with many a sun-like arrow
Of its reverberated lightning.”
