It is the rule of bliss,
The very life and form and cause of pleasure.

With seas of life, like wine.
I nothing in this world did know,
But 'twas divine!

The Men! O what venerable and reverend creatures did the aged seem! Immortal Cherubims! And young men glittering and sparkling Angels, and maids strange seraphic pieces of life and beauty! Boys and girls tumbling in the street, and playing, were moving jewels. I knew not that they were born or should die; But all things abided eternally as they were in their proper places.
