THOMAS YALDEN English poet and divine (1671 - 1736) Darkness, thou first great parent of us all,   Thou art our great original!       - [Darkness] For malice will with joy the lie receive,   Report, and what it wishes true believe.       - [Malice] Pity, the tenderest part of love.       - [Pity] Wishes, like painted landscapes, best delight,   Whilst distance recommends them to the sight.     Plac'd afar off, they beautiful appear:       But show their coarse and nauseous colors near.       - [Distance] We're charm'd with distant views of happiness,   But near approaches make the prospect less.       - Against Enjoyment (l. 23) [Happiness] Last Revised: 2008 June 30 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
