Excerpt from Emblems of Love: Designed in Several Discourses Emblems of Love Hymn to Love We are thine, O Love, being in thee and made of thee, As thou, Love, were the deep thought And we the speech of the thought; yea, spoken are we, Thy fires of thought out-spoken: But burn'd not through us thy imagining Like fierce mood in a song caught, We were as clamour'd words a fool may fling, Loose words, of meaning broken. For what more like the brainless speech of a fool, - The lives travelling dark fears, And as a boy throws pebbles in a pool Thrown down abysmal places? Hazardous are the stars, yet it is our birth And our journeying time theirs; As words of air, life makes of starry earth Sweet soul-delighted faces; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
