This is a great poem, but it just got me to thinking about all the discussion about religion and logic. Can you imagine a life ruled completely by logic? (I know emotions(feelings) are not something to rule your life either, but they've got to have a voice...a whisper or shout?)feeling is first
Here is another good one:
it may not always be so; and i say
that if your lips, which i have loved, should touch
another's, and your dear strong fingers clutch
his heart, as mine in time not far away;
if on another's face your sweet hair lay
in such silence as i know, or such
great writhing words as, uttering overmuch,
stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;
if this should be, i say if this should be--
you of my heart, send me a little word;
that i may go unto him, and take his hands,
saying, Accept all happiness from me.
Then shall i turn my face and hear one bird
sing terribly afar in the lost lands
