A thousand walls immure your days,--and yet - ZaunköniG - 23.07.2007 A thousand walls immure your days,--and yet What are they all when, of the thousand, one Has fallen beneath the curious urge and fret Of you toward me, of me toward you begun? When the first fell, I shuddered half-aghast; The second, now a-crumble in my sight, Predicts less thunder than the fall late past; And I await the third with clear delight. Mingled with all the phantoms of my fear Are lights of utter lure. Wherefore I choose To linger watching, thou right well I bear Knowledge that naught's to gain and much to lose,-- And that there is reserved Hell's choicest flame For pairs of fools who play this silly game. |
