Into thy face;
Thou art grown fair and full of grace,
Much in request, much sought for as a good.”
—George Herbert (15931633)
“Spring, of all seasons most gratuitous,
Is fold of untaught flower, is race of water,
Is earths most multiple, excited daughter;
And those she has least use for see her best,
Their paths grown craven and circuitous,
Their visions mountain-clear, their needs immodest.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
