CREATION.


Nam non in hac ærumnosa miseriarum valle, in qua ad laborem ceteri mortales nascimur, producta est.

Boccaccio: De claris mulieribus.


And God said, "Let us make a thing most fair,—
  A Woman with gold hair, and eyes all blue:"
He took from the sun gold and made her hair,
  And for her eyes He took His heaven's own hue.
