SEEK not the end of love in this act or in that act—lest indeed it become the end; But seek this act and that act and thousands of acts whose end is love— So shalt thou at last create that which thou now desirest; And then when these are all past and gone there shall remain to thee a great and immortal possession, which no man can take away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE A SCOTCH SONG by JOANNA BAILLIE AS A MOULD FOR SOME FAIR FORM by EDWARD CARPENTER |
