his mind when he was in the South, golden region, where his imaginations rejoiced, his sons of Eternity sang ?
7. When his desires sported among eternal and mental mountains and valleys ?
8. When his bosom was open, not closed in flesh and bone.
9. When her soul was given to his sons, and his daughters to her chambers ; where indulgences and energies could live in harmony and love ?
10. And little innocent joys were born from them like innumerable babes ?
11. And even the external and female things of the void and of the flesh were happy as fatness, and odours and figs ?
12. Eternal science, which in the golden age was mercy, and the architecture of the happy heart, was sown as a seed with generous hand.
13. And the sweat was the symbol of healthy labour.
14. But dark flesh and dark jealousy and dark restraint have ended all the joy.
