These are my happy penances. To make Beauty without a Covenant; to take Measure of time only because I know That in death’s market-place I still shall owe Service to beauty that shall not be done; To know that beauty’s doctrine is begun And makes a close in sacrifice; to find In beauty’s courts the unappeasable mind.
