A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:Its loveliness increases, it will neverPass into nothingness; but still will keepA bower quiet for us, and a sleepFull of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathingA flowery band to bind us to the earth,Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearthOf noble natures, of the gloomy days,Of all the unhealthy and o’er-darkened waysMade of our searching; yes, in spite of all,Some shape of beauty moves away the pallFrom our dark spirits.
