THE NOBLE NATURE
It is not growing .like a tree In bulk, doth make num better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a, log at last, dry, bald, and sere: A lily of a day Is fairer far in May, Although it fall and die that night— It was the plant and flower of light. In small proportions see just beauties see; And in short measures life may perfect ~c - —Beu Jonson (1573-1637).
