Quotes about beauty

The bright consummate flower.

The wakeful nightingale,

She all night long her amorous descant sung;

Silence was pleased: now glowed the firmament

With living sapphires: Hesperus, that led

The starry host, rode brightest, till the moon,

Rising in clouded majesty, at length

Apparent queen unveiled her peerless light,

And o'er the dark her silver mantle threw.

Adam the goodliest man of men since born

His sons, the fairest of her daughters Eve.

Proserpine gathering flowers,

Herself a fairer flower.

Flowers worthy of paradise.

Flowers of all hue, and without thorn the rose.

Why make so much of fragmentary blue

In here and there a bird, or butterfly,

Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,

When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue.

The heaventree of stars hung with humid nightblue fruit.
