Here you will find the Poem A Sophistical Argument of poet Lesbia Harford
Great crane o'ertopping the delicate trees Why do you seem so fair, Swaying and raising your load with ease High in the misty air? You are a wonder of pearl and grey Lifting strong arms to the sky. Have you a meaning that's lovely, pray? Why are you lovely, why? I have a friend with a theory strange, Thriftless in unity, None of my reasons avails to change. 'Beauty is truth,' says she. Are you all ugliness, Fair-to-the-sense? You are a symbol drear. Though I should forfeit mine innocence, Yet must I hold you dear.
