Three treasures, LOVE and LIGHT, And CALM THOUGHTS regular as infant's breath: And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, HIMSELF, his MAKER, and the angel DEATH.
Página 110 - But the images of men's wits and knowledges remain in books, exempted from the wrong of time, and capable of perpetual renovation.
