A passion may blind the soul
Metaphor in Context
VICTORIA.
Doubtless, my Lord, the judge who sits serene
Above all mists of passion. But where is he?
Youth has its follies: and when these decline,
A passion springs, they say, that blinds the soul
As much as that gay dotage Love itself.
A certain flower of winter!--Fy upon it!--
They call it--Avarice.
