ROBERT BROWNING 1812-89


-o0o-

SUMMUM BONUM
(Latin - the highest good)

All the breath and the bloom of the year in the bag of one bee:
All the wonder and wealth of the mine in the heart of one gem:
In the core of one pearl all the shade and the shine of the sea:
Breath and bloom, shade and shine, - wonder, wealth, and - how far above them -
        Truth that's brighter than gem,
        Trust, that's purer than pearl, -
Brightest truth, purest trust in the universe - all were for me
        In the kiss of one girl.
