The Heavenly Birth of Love and Beauty
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni

    This heart of flesh feeds not with life my love:
            The love wherewith I love thee hath no heart;
            Nor harbours it in any mortal part,
            Where erring thought or ill desire may move.
    When first Love sent our souls from God above,
            He fashioned me to see thee as thou art--
            Pure light; and thus I find God's counterpart
            In thy fair face, and feel the sting thereof.
    As heat from fire, from loveliness divine
            The mind that worships what recalls the sun
            From whence she sprang, can be divided never:
    And since thine eyes all Paradise enshrine,
            Burning unto those orbs of light I run,
            There where I loved thee first to dwell for ever.
