All the mind, "in all her faculties refined," may taste "happiness complete"
Metaphor in Context
The Cross! Oh ravishment and bliss,--
How grateful even its anguish is,
Its bitterness how sweet!
There every sense, and all the mind,
In all her faculties refined,
Tastes happiness complete.
(ll. 37-42, p. 98)
