"Alas, close to the bounds of night
Orpheus backwards turned his sight
And, looking, lost & killed her there.
For you I sing this sad affair,
Whoever seek the upward way
To lift your mind into the day;
For who gives in & turns his eye
Back to darkness from the sky,
Loses while he looks below
All that up with him may go."
Book 3 is wonderful on divine simplicity and privation.

And all this chain of things
In earth & sea & sky
One ruler holds in hand:
If Love relaxed the reins
All things that now keep peace
Would wage continual war
...
Love, too, holds peoples joined
By sacred bond of treaty,
And weaves the holy knot
Of marriage's true love.
Love promulgates the laws
For friendship's faithful bond.
O happy men
If Love who rules the sky
Could rule your hearts as well!

"In your true belief about the world's government - that it is subject to divine reason & not the haphazards of chance - there lies our greatest hope of rekindling your health.. Still, as it is not yet time for stronger medicine.. I will try to lessen this particular fog little by little by applying gentle remedies of only medium strength."
Lovely line from Lady Philosophy.
