| Beauty |
| | | Armel O’Connor |
| | | | | … and The Good, which lies beyond is the Fountain at once and Principle of Beauty: the Primal Good and the Primal Beauty have the one dwelling-place and, thus, always, Beauty’s seat is There.—PLOTINUS. |

| THE SUN shines bright in many places, | |
| Beauty stoops into the vault; | |
| One Light illumines many faces, | |
| Shows perfection through the fault. | |
| And every mountain, sky or river | 5 |
| Holds one heavenly reply | |
| To my questions, from the Giver | |
| Of the Gift that cannot die. | |
| Yet I destroy my purest pleasure | |
| While I hesitate, compare. | 10 |
| God is the undivided Treasure … | |
Timeless Beauty is my share.
