I Fall Upon The Thorns

The Wise Want Love; And Those Who Love Want Wisdom.

The Cloud Shadows Of Midnight Possess Their Own Repose.

I See The Waves Upon The Shore, Like Light Dissolved In Star-showers, Thrown.

Age Cannot Love Destroy, But Perfidy Can Blast The Flower, Even When In Most Unwary Hour It Blooms In Fancy's Bower. Age Cannot Love Destroy, But Perfidy Can Rend The Shrine In Which Its Vermeil Splendours Shine.

Near That A Dusty Paint-box, Some Odd Hooks, A Half-burnt Match, An Ivory Block, Three Books, Where Conic Sections, Spherics, Logarithms, To Great Laplace, From Saunderson And Sims, Lie Heaped In Their Harmonious Disarray Of Figures,-disentangle Them Who May.
