Calvert, George Henry: To the Statue of Eve, by Powers - ZaunköniG - 15.07.2007 To the Statue of Eve, by Powers Who that has had of beauteous womanhood Translucent visions, in his holiest dreams, Or when the abstracted, waking mind so teems With images of beauty that ‘t will brood, In happiest silence, on the fertile mood So deeply, till each outward thing but seems Fantastic, while the flashing, inward gleams Compound a loveliness that would be wooed As a reality, - were such to come Before thee, with a virgin joy, his soul, Like a new spirit in Elysium, Would gush with ecstasy, while from it roll All memories of dreams or inward sight, Paled by the fulgence of thy wondrous light. |
