Imageries of dreams reveal a gracious age:
Black armour, falling lace, and altar lights at morn.
The
courtesy
of saints, their gentleness and scorn,
Lights on an earth more fair, than shone from Plato's page:
The
courtesy
of knights, fair calm and sacred rage:
The
courtesy
of love, sorrow for love's sake borne.
Vanished, those high conceits! Desolate and forlorn,
We hunger against hope for the lost heritage.
Lionel Johnson
