The gods oft wedded mortals: now alone May man the Chief Immortal make his own.
To Time each day adds increment of age But Beauty ne'er grows old. There is no gauge To count the glories of the counted hours.
Flowers die, but not the ecstasy of flowers.
Come, let us live with Beauty!
What infinite treasure hers! and what small need Of our cramped natures, whose misguided greed, Hound-like, pursues false trails of Luxury Or sodden Comfort! Who shall call us free — Content if but some casual waftu...re come From fields Elysian, where the valleys bloom With life delectable? Such happy air Should be the light we live in; unaware It should be breathed, till man retrieves the joy Philosophy has wrested frcMn the boy.
Come, let us Uve with Beauty I Who shall put limit to her sovereignty?
Who shall her loveliness define?
Think you the Graces only three? — The Muses only nine?
Beyond our star-sown deep of space Digitized by Google SAINT'GAUDENS 339 Where, as for solace, huddles world with world (A human instinct in the primal wrack), Mayhap there is a dark and desert place Of deeper awe With but one outer star, there hurled By cataclysm and there held in leash by law: If lonely be that star, 't is not for Beauty's lack.
