A carefree youthfulness of mind and heart
Found in the body a heavenly instrument;
It lit an aureate halo round desire
And freed the deified animal in the limbs
To divine gambols of love and beauty and bliss.
Found in the body a heavenly instrument;
It lit an aureate halo round desire
And freed the deified animal in the limbs
To divine gambols of love and beauty and bliss.
Life was an eternity of rapture’s moods:
Age never came, care never lined the face.
Age never came, care never lined the face.
(Book 2, Canto 3)
These senses of heavenly sense grow capable,
The flesh and nerves of a strange ethereal joy
And mortal bodies of immortality.
The flesh and nerves of a strange ethereal joy
And mortal bodies of immortality.
(Book 11, Canto 1)
