-------------------------LOVE------------------------------
Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,!
But for another gives its ease,9
And builds a heaven in hell's despair.    William
Blake
Alas, is even Love too weak(
To unlock the heart, and let it speak?%
Are even lovers powerless to reveal'
To one another what indeed they feel?"
I knew the mass of men concealed+
Their thoughts, for fear that if revealed
They would by other men be met2
With blank indifference, or with blame reproved:
I knew they lived and moved)
Tricked in disguises, alien to the rest,
Of men, and alien to themselves -- and yet5
3The same heart beats in every human breast.
Matthew
Arnold
