Explore "Beauty's Wisdom" by Frederic Manning on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
As light, as fragrance from her face, / A beauty is distilled / More deep and tranquil than Youth's grace, / The love that is fulfilled.
Nor transient this: the touch of years / But strengthens it with peace; / She reaps the moments as the ears / Are reaped, of Earth's increase.
