AH, that Time could touch a form <br />That could show what Homer's age <br />Bred to be a hero's wage. <br />'Were not all her life but storm <br />Would not painters paint a form <br />Of such noble lines,' I said, <br />'Such a delicate high head, <br />All that sternness amid charm, <br />All that sweetness amid strength?' <br />Ah, but peace that comes at length, <br />Came when Time had touched her form.<br /><br />William Butler Yeats<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/peace-4/
