On the highest peak of the tired gray world,
About me only
swirling

Above me, endless space unfurled;
With earth hidden and heaven hidden,
And only my own spirit's pride
To keep me from the peace of those
Who are not lonely, having died.

being all that it can be (let it be as it will in terms of the particular act and potency), there is a potency that is not separated from the act, a soul which is not separated from that which is animated - I mean, the simple, not the composite, so that the universe has a first principle taken as a unity, and no longer considered dou- bled into material principle and formal principle.

For in an evening of young moon, that went
Filling the moist air with a rosy fire,
I and my beloved knew our love;
And knew that thou, O morning, wouldst arise
To give us knowledge of

Yet mark their mirth--ere lenten days begin,
That penance which their holy rites prepare
To shrive from man his weight of mortal sin,
By daily abstinence and nightly prayer;
But ere his sackcloth garb Repentance wear,
Some days of joyaunce are decreed to all,
To take of
pleasaunce
each his secret share,
In motley robe to dance at masking ball,
And join the mimic train of merry Carnival.
