ASOLANDO: SUMMUM BONUM, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: All the breath and the bloom of the year in the bag of one bee
Last Line: In the kiss of one girl.
Subject(s): Love


ALL the breath and the bloom of the year in the bag of one bee:
All the wonder and wealth of the mine in the heart of one gem:
In the core of one pearl all the shade and the shine of the sea:
Breath and bloom, shade and shine, -- wonder, wealth, and
-- how far above them --
Truth, that's brighter than gem,
Trust, that's purer than pearl, --
Brightest truth, purest trust in the universe -- all were for me
In the kiss of one girl.
