Note 119 — Scene II.—Hades.
Reading edition
{251}[Lucifer does not infect Cain with his cynical theories as to the origin and endurance of love. For the antidote, compare Wordsworth's sonnet "To a Painter" (No. II), written in 1841—
"Morn into noon did pass, noon into eve, And the old day was welcome as the young, As welcome, and as beautiful—in sooth More beautiful, as being a thing more holy," etc.
Works, 1889, p. 772.]
