La forza d’un bel viso a che mi sprona?

La forza d'un bel viso a che mi sprona?, Michelangelo, ' Beauty is impelled to find a face To dwell in: there, delight is such that I Seek nothing more; I would scour the sky To share with the elect this living grace. The works of their Creator bear his sign, So if my soul burns fiercely with love Of all fair shapes, then judgement from above Must hold me guiltless: beauty is divine. '
