  live coiled in shells of loneliness
  until love leaves its high holy temple

• All men naturally desire knowledge. An indication of this is our esteem for the senses; for apart from their use we esteem them for their own sake, and most of all the sense of sight. Not only with a view to action, but even when no action is contemplated, we prefer sight, generally speaking, to all the other senses. The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions.

• These blossoms, gathered in familiar paths,
  With dear companions now passed out of sight,
  Shall not be laid upon their graves. They live,
  Since love is deathless. Pleasure now nor pride
  Is theirs in mortal wise, but hallowing thoughts
  Will meet the offering, of so little worth,
  Wanting the benison death has made divine.
