    To rid the world of penitence:
    Malicious Angel, who still dost
    My soul such subtile violence!

    Abides for me undesecrate:
    Dark Angel, ever on the wing,
    Who never reachest me too late!”
    —Lionel Pigot Johnson (1867–1902)

    “Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
    To warm the world, that’s done in warming us.
    Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
    This bed thy center is, these walls, thy sphere.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)
