The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

Стр. 115 - ... as if the rock spirits could spin porphyry as we do glass, the traceries of intricate silver and fringes of amber, lustrous, arborescent, burnished through every fibre into fitful brightness, and glossy traverses of silken change, yet all subdued and pensive, and framed for simplest, sweetest offices of grace.
