...owledge crouches in its den,
And sends a spark up:--is it true we are wed?

From the sad thought, that others like myself
Live but to swell affliction's countless tribes!

No more will spread for me her downy wings,
But, like the fab...Read more of this...

Let us retrace our steps: I have deceived you:
Nothing is here I could not frankly tell you:
No hint of guilt, or faithlessness, or threat.
Dreams—they are madness. Staring eyes—illusion.
Let us return, hear music, and forget . . .
IV. ILLICIT
Of what she said to me that night—no matter.
The strange thing came next day.
My brain was full of music—something she played me—;
I couldn't remember it all, but phrases of it
Wreathed and wreathed among faint memories,
