Extremes

If my devils were to leave me,
My angels would take flight as well,
For I find that heavenly pleasures
Bring me sometimes close to hell,
Good and bad are well united,
Often in the same man's soul,
And I'm frequently delighted
By the warmth of sun or coal,
And I do find signs of beauty
In the ugly and the fair,
For they do go well together
Make to me a charming pair...
