Hannah More


Cold as the snows of Rhodope.	1
Dear as light.	2
Dear as the vital stream that feeds my heart.	3
Lie like a book of anecdotes.	4
Pleasure, like an over-fed lamp, is extinguished by the excess of its own aliment.	5
Posturing, for all the world just like the man on the slack rope at our fair.	6
Steadfast as the pole-star.	7
Terrible as war.	8
