The Tempest • 1623
Miranda: There’s nothing ill can dwell in such a temple: If the ill spirit have so fair a house, Good things will strive to dwell with’t.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Miranda argues that something evil can't live in such a beautiful temple. If a bad spirit has a fair house, she says, good things will try to move in too. It's a hopeful view that appearance can reflect inner goodness.
