“After a lustre of the moon, we say
We have not the need of any paradise,
We have not the need of any seducing hymn.”

If virtues from within no lustre lend!
Strip off th’externals M and Y, the rest
Proves Majesty itself is but a Jest.”

In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!”
