Chapter 83 The Best Thing in the World

What's the best thing in the world? June-rose, impearled by May-dew; Sweet south-wind, that means no rain; Truth, not cruel to a friend; Pleasure, not in haste to end; Beauty, not self-decked and curled Till its pride is over-plain; Love, when, so, you loved again. What's the best thing in the world? --Something out of it, I think.
