    Eve is a twofold mystery.

    What is art,
    But life upon the larger scale, the higher,
    When, graduating up in a spiral line
    Of still expanding and ascending gyres,
    It pushes toward the intense significance
    Of all things, hungry for the Infinite?
    Art’s life,—and where we live, we suffer and toil.
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    ‘Tis the Last Judgment’s fire must cure this place,
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)
