I couldn't
tell fact from fiction
or if my dream was
true.
The only sure
prediction
in this whole world was
you.
I'd touched your features
inchly,
heard love and dared
the cost
The scented spiel reeled
me unreal
and found my senses
lost.
By: Maya Angelou
If there were dreams
to sell,
What would you
buy?
Some cost a
passing-bell;
Some a light
sigh.
Thomas Lowell Beddoes
(1803-1849)
English poet and
physiologist
The
Resolve
My wayward fate I needs
must 'plain,
Though bootless be the
theme;
I loved, and was beloved
again,
Yet all was but a
dream;
For, as her love was
quickly got,
So it was quickly
gone;
No more I'll bask in
flame so hot,
But coldly dwell
alone.
Not maid more bright
than maid was e'er
My fancy shall
beguile,
By flattering word, or
feigned tear,
By gesture, look, or
smile;
No more I'll call the
shaft fair shot,
Till it has fairly
flown,
Nor scorch me at a lame
so hot;
I'll rather freeze
alone.
Each ambush'd Cupid I'll
defy,
In cheek, or chin, or
brow,
And deem the glance of
woman's eye
As weak as woman's
vow;
I'll lightly hold the
lady's heart,
That is but lightly
won;
I'll steel my breast
to beauty's art,
And learn to live
alone.
The flaunting torch soon
blazes out,
The diamond's ray
abides;
The flame its glory hurls
about,
The gem its lustre
hides;
Such gem I fondly deem'd
was mine,
And glow'd a diamond
stone,
But, since each eye may
see it shine,
I'll darkling dwell
alone.
No waking dream shall
tinge my thought
With dyes so bright and
vain,
No silken net, so slightly
wrought,
Shall tangle me
again;
No more I'll pay so dear
for wit,
I'll live upon my
own,
Nor shall wild passion
trouble it,
I'll rather dwell
alone.
And thus I'll hush my
heart to rest -
The loving labor's
lost;
Thou shalt no more be
wildly blest,
To be so strangely
crost;
The widow's turtles mateless
die,
The phoenix is but
one;
They seek no loves, no
more will I -
I'll rather dwell
alone.
