As yellow morn <br>Runs on the slippery waves of the spread sea, <br>Thy feet are on the griefs and joys of men <br>That sheen to be thy causey. Out of tears <br>Indeed, and blitheness, murder and lust and love, <br>Whatever has been passionate in clay, <br>Thy flesh was tempered. Behold in thy body <br>The yearnings of all men measured and told, <br>Insatiate endless agonies of desire <br>Given thy flesh, the meaning of thy shape! <br>What beauty is there, but thou makest it? <br>How is earth good to look on, woods and fields, <br>The season's garden, and the courageous hills, <br>All this green raft of earth moored in the seas? <br>The manner of the sun to ride the air, <br>The stars God has imagined for the night? <br>What's this behind them, that we cannot near, <br>Secret still on the point of being blabbed, <br>The ghost in the world that flies from being named? <br>Where do they get their beauty from, all these? <br>They do but glaze a lantern lit for man, <br>And woman's beauty is the flame therein.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Lascelles+Abercrombie">Lascelles Abercrombie</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=431941" data-title="From "Vashti" de Lascelles Abercrombie" data-description="WHAT thing shall be held up to woman's beauty?
