Arthurpod commented on the word blight
"Something there is in beauty
which grows in the soul of the beholder
like a flower:
fragile---
for many are the blights
which may waste
the beauty
for the beholder--
and imperishable--
for the beauty may die,
or the world may die,
but the soul in which the flower grows
survives."
