“Well fare she, well! As perfect beauty fares;
And those high places, that are beauty's home.”

Lionel Johnson (1867–1902) English poet

"Oxford"
Context: p>Ill times may be; she hath no thought of time:
She reigns beside the waters yet in pride.

Well fare she, well! As perfect beauty fares;
And those high places, that are beauty's home.</p
