“No one hath seen beauty in its highest lustre who hath never seen it in distress.”
“No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face."[The Autumnal]”
“A deep distress hath humanised my soul.”
“The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man's hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report, what my dream was.”
“Why then should witless man so much misweeneThat nothing is but that which he hath seene?”
“Body is not veiled from soul, neither soul from body,Yet no man hath ever seen a soul.”
