One may be "An honest earnest soul sincere, / An independent spirit true, / Whose mind was as a mirror clear, / And from the world no shadow knew"

Metaphor in Context
And what was he? An Artizan, Whom toil but made the more a man; An honest earnest soul sincere, An independent spirit true, Whose mind was as a mirror clear, And from the world no shadow knew, Undimmed, unclouded, and reflecting All images without dissecting-- A large pure mind, and full of light, By Heaven itself informed aright; A conscience open like the ocean, And constant in its healthful motion, Moved by the Spirit-love within, Like the Celestial Hyaline.
