Ah, be not false, sweet Splendor!
Be true, be good;
Be wise as thou art tender;
Be all that Beauty should.
Not lightly be thy citadel subdued;
Not ignobly, not untimely.
Take praise in solemn mood;
Take love sublimely.
--_Richard Watson Gilder._
Let us love so well
Our work shall be sweeter for our love,
And still our love be sweeter for our work.
--_Elizabeth Barrett Browning._
