Or wilt thou go ask the Mole:

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?

Or Love in a golden bowl?

Thomas Gray·1716–1771
hillips! whose touch harmonious could removeThe pangs of guilty power and hapless love,Rest here; distress'd by poverty no more,Find here that calm thou gav'st so oft before;Sleep undisturb'd within this peaceful shrine,Till angels wake thee with a note like thine. [Footnote 1: 'Claude Phillips:' a Welsh travelling fiddler, greatlyadmired.] * * * * *
