De male qusesitis gaudat non tertius hseres. — Bellochii Praxit 



Moralis. 



As Heaven and Earth are fairer, fairer far 



Than Chaos and blank Darkness, though once chiefs; 



And as we show beyond that Heaven and Earth 



In form and shape compact and beautiful, 



In will, in action free, companionship, 



And thousand other signs of purer life; 



So on our heels a fresh perfection treads, 



A power more strong in beauty, born of us, 



And fated to excel us, as we pass 



In glory that old Darkness. 



Keats: Hyperion.
