And which remain, in spite of Time's dull tooth.
As radiant as the wondrous water quaffed.
But not of living flesh and blood are they ; -> And Art alone can give their long youth birth.
And Ind them keep it while mere men grow grey7 Art makes the only ever young on earth ; Shapes which can keep, till crumbled quite away,7 A young saint's rapture or a young faun's mirth.
32 II WHAT impious wrinkle ever marred the cheek Of that proud beauty, armless from of old, Who stands, though twenty centurie...s are scrolled, young as when first she smiled upon the Greek ?
What thread of silver ever dared to streak The wavy wonder of the wanton gold J- Round Titian's Magdalen, while men behold Each other whiten as their lives grow bleak ?
And those more breathing beings that the pen Creates of subtler substance than the brush Or chisel ever dealt with — What of them ?
Are Juliet* s eyes less bright in those of men.
Her cheek less oval ; and will ages crush ^The youth from out Pompilia*s frail cut stem ?
