THE VISION EMBODIED.
"Could you but know what 'tis to bear, my friend, One image stamped within you, turning blank The else imperial brilliance of your mind, -- A weakness, but most precious, -- like a flaw I' the diamond, which should shape forth some sweet face Yet to create, and meanwhile treasured there Lest nature lose her gracious thought for ever! " -- ROBERT BROWNING.
