Mirror And Face

They say, "How strange! This peerless beauty's face Within the mirror's heart now holds a place!" The marvel's not the face, the marvel is That it should be at once mirror and face.

All mirrors in the universe I ween Display Thy image with its radiant sheen-- Nay, in them all, so vast Thy effluent grace, 'Tis Thyself, not Thine image, that is seen.
