Читать книгу The Unknown Eros - Coventry Patmore - Страница 6

   Of infinite Heaven the rays,

Piercing some eyelet in our cavern black,

Ended their viewless track

On thee to smite

Solely, as on a diamond stalactite,

And in mid-darkness lit a rainbow’s blaze,

Wherein the absolute Reason, Power, and Love,

That erst could move

Mainly in me but toil and weariness,

Renounced their deadening might,

Renounced their undistinguishable stress

Of withering white,

And did with gladdest hues my spirit caress,

Nothing of Heaven in thee showing infinite,

Save the delight.
