Give beauty back, beauty, beauty, beauty, back to God, beauty's self and beauty's giver.

Wessex Poems and Other Verses (1918)

For myself I make no secret, I look forward with eager desire to seeing the matchless beauty of Christ’s body in the heavenly light.

On this day by God's grace I resolved to give up all beauty until I had His leave for it.

Beauty … is a relation, and the apprehension of it a comparison.
