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.
