""In manner awkward, and with fortune small;
""With visage pale, my motions quick and slow,
""That fall and rising in the spirits show;
""For none could more by outward signs express
""What wise men lock within the mind's recess;
""Had I a mirror set before my view,
""I might have seen what such a form could do;
""Had I within the mirror truth beheld,
""I should have such presuming thoughts repell'd
""But awkward as I was, without the grace
""That gives new beauty to a form or face,
""Still I expected friends most true to prove,
""And grateful, tender, warm, assiduous love.",,16473,From Poetical Works (1838). Work out citation. REVISIT,"One may behold ""the mirror truth"" within","",2009-09-14 19:46:58 UTC,""
