The Poet (1830)
Context: There was no blood upon her maiden robes
Sunn'd by those orient skies;
But round about the circles of the globes
Of her keen
And in her raiment's hem was traced in flame
WISDOM, a name to shake
All evil dreams of power — a sacred name.
And when she spake,
Her words did gather thunder as they ran,
And as the lightning to the thunder
Which follows it, riving the spirit of man,
Making earth wonder,
So was their meaning to her words. No sword
Of wrath her right arm whirl'd,
But one poor poet's scroll, and with his word
She shook the world.

To point a moral, or adorn a tale.”

“Love is enough: it grew up without heeding
In the days when ye knew not its name nor its measure”
William Morris (1834–1896) author, designer, and craftsman
Love is Enough (1872), Song III: It Grew Up Without Heeding
Context: Love is enough: it grew up without heeding
In the days when ye knew not its name nor its measure,
And its leaflets untrodden by the light feet of pleasure
Had no boast of the blossom, no sign of the seeding,
As the morning and evening passed over its treasure.
Protima Bedi (1948–1998) Indian model and dancer
By Khushwant Mubarak Singh quoted in "She had a lust for life"
