Robert Graves Quote

Dwell on her graciousness, dwell on her smiling,
Do not forget what flowers
The great boar trampled down in ivy time.
Her brow was creamy as the crested wave,
Her sea-blue eyes were wild
But nothing promised that is not performed.

"To Juan at the Winter Solstice," lines 37–42, from Poems 1938-1945 (1946).
