User-Contributed Transcription thee, with beautiful & sweet scented flowers, gloriously decking its strength. Murmur at its unwelcome restraint, and it will be to thee a manacle, chafing and galling thy spirit with its iron links. Strive as thou wilt, but thou canst not escape it; for it will be ever around thee, circling thy being - a circumference which - turn as thou will, thou canst not pass."
(From Festus)
"When creatures stray farthest from thee
Then was most towards them burns
Thy love, even as yon sun beams hottest are
The earth when distant-most."

"Christ - the one great word
Well worth all languages in Earth or Heaven."

"Years - feelings bright embodied form, are not
More pure than dressed & clad, Nature's tears, which she
Sheds on her own breast for the fair who die,
