A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us; and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing, which well illustrate the spirit of Keats's later work, with its perfect finish and melody.

In this last piece the poet no less beautifully than truly observes, To sympathies, which soothe and bless Our life from day to day, Which throw, with silent tenderness, Fresh flowers across our way, The heart must ever fondly cling: But can the poet's sweetest string Their loveliness display?

Sweet mother at thy shrine Our spirits melt in prayer, Beneath the loveliness divine, Which art has pictured there.

This conflict of the citizen-woman ideal with the loveliness-woman ideal, which was breaking out very plainly in the British suffrage movement before the war, will certainly return after the war, and I have little doubt which way the issue will fall.
