Toaster's Handbook

by Peggy Edmund and Harold W. Williams, compilers


BEAUTY

If eyes were made for seeing,
Then beauty is its own excuse for being.

—Emerson

-------------------------------------------------------------

A thing of beauty is a joy forever;
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
