Its loveliness increases; it will never

Some go on searchin’ their whole life through

“In den angenehmen Büschen,
Wo sich Licht und Schatten mischen,
Suchet sich in stiller Lust
Aug’ und Herze zu erfrischen;
Dann erheb’t sich aus der Brust
Mein zufriedenes Gemüte,
Und lobsingt des Schöpfers Güte …”

A supple dance of a dancer torn into pieces

"The girl goes dancing there
On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth
Grass plot of the garden;
Escaped from bitter youth,
Escaped out of her crowd,
Or out of her black cloud.
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer!
If strange men come from the house
To lead her away, do not say
That she is happy being crazy;
Lead them gently astray;
Let her finish her dance,
Let her finish her dance.
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer!"
(W.B. Yeats in Sweet dancer)
