Tell her that sang me once that song of Lawes:
Hadst thou but song
As thou hast subjects known,
Then were there cause in thee that should condone
Even my faults that heavy upon me lie
And build her glories their longevity.

Recking naught else but that her graces give
Life to the moment,

As roses might, in magic amber laid,
Red overwrought with orange and all made
One substance and one colour

The maker of it, some other mouth,
May be as fair as hers,
Might, in new ages, gain her worshippers,

Siftings on siftings in oblivion,
Till change hath broken down
All things save Beauty alone. — Ezra Pound
