LIKENESS IN UNLIKENESS. - ZaunköniG - 23.07.2007
LIKENESS IN UNLIKENESS.
WE are alike, and yet - oh strange and sweet!
Each in the other difference discerns:
So the torn strands the maiden's finger turns
Opposing ways, when they again do meet
Clasp each in each, as flame clasps into heat:
So when my hand on my cool bosom burns,
Each sense is lost in the other. So two urns
Upon a shelf the self-same lines repeat;
But various color gives a lovelier grace,
And each is finer for its complement.
Thus, Love, it was, I did forget thy face
As deeper into thy deep soul I went;
Vague in my mind it grew till, in its place,
One that I knew not from my own was sent.
