LIFE IN A LOVE

Untitled Slide

• Escape me? Never— Beloved!
• While I am I, and you are you,
• So long as the world contains us both,
• Me the loving and you the loth,

Untitled Slide

• While the one eludes,Must the other pursue
• My life is a fault at last,
• I fear:It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
• Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed.

Untitled Slide

• But what if I fail of my purpose here?
• It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
• To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall,
• And, baffled, get up and begin again,

Untitled Slide

• So the chase takes up one's life, that's all.
• While, look but once from your farthest
• Bound At me so deep in the dust and dark,
• No sooner the old hope goes to ground
