Love is throned upon his heart, and light is found within his dwelling:
His eyes are rayed with peacefulness, and wisdom waiteth on his tongue;
Seek him out, cherish him well, walking in the halo of his influence:
For he shall be fragrance to thy soul, as a garden of sweet lilies,
Hedged and apart from the outer world, an island of the blest among the seas.
There is an outer world, and there is an inner centre;
And many varying rings concentric round the self.
For, first, about a man,—after his communion with Heaven,—
Is found the helpmate even as himself, the wife of his vows and his affections:
See then that ye love in faith, scorning petty jealousies,
