THE ILLUSION OF LOVE – Beloved, you may be as all men say only a transient spark of flickering flame set in loam of clay. I care not, since you kindle all my dark with the immortal lustres of the day. And as all men deem, dearest, you may be only a common shell, chance winnowed by the sea-winds from the sea, the subtle murmurs of eternity. And tho’ you are, like men or mortal race, only a hapless thing that Death may mar and destiny efface, I care not, since unto my heart you bring the very vision of God’s dwelling-place.
