Our happiest earthly comradeships hold a foretaste
of the feast of salvation and by thatt virtue in them
provoke desire beyond them to out-reach and surmount
their humanity in some superhumanity
and ultimat perfection: which, howe'er 'tis found
or strangely imagin'd, answereth to the need of each
and pulleth him instinctivly as to a final cause.

The Testament of Beauty, IV, 1408

Phoenix and the Turtle fled

In a mutual flame from hence.

The Phoenix and the Turtle
