    About this ebook

    "Ballads of Beauty" is a poetry collection. Excerpt: "Beauty. Beauty gives The features perfectness, and to the form Its delicate proportions: she may stain The eye with a celestial blue, the cheek With carmine of the sunset; she may breathe Grace into every motion, like the play Of the least visible tissue of a cloud; She may give all that's rich—her own Bright cestus—and one glance of Intellect, Like stronger magic, will outshine it all."
