Through love? No; the woman! that visible woman Men usually know.--None knows how we know Of an innermore beauty! that part of the human We designate character.--Look at the bow Of the moon that is new; that bears in its crescent A world.--So the flesh gleams the slenderest line Of soul; that is love; the unevanescent, Making the mortal immortal, divine.
