| WIFE OR HUSBAND Let us be guests in one another's house With deferential "No" and courteous "Yes;" Let us take care to hide our foolish moods Behind a certain show of cheerfulness. Let us avoid all sullen silences; We should find fresh and sprightly things to say; I must be fearful lest you find me dull, And you must dread to bore me any way. Let us knock gently at each other's heart, Glad of a chance to look within-and yet Let us remember that to force one's way Is the unpardoned breach of etiquette. So shall I be hostess-you, the host- Until all need for entertainment ends; We shall be lovers when the last door shuts, But what is better still-we shall be friends. .....Carol Haynes. ********** |
| LOVES PHILOSOPHY The fountains mingle with the river, And the rivers with the ocean; The winds of heaven mix forever, With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one another's being mingle:- Why not I with thine? See! the mountains kiss high heaven, And the waves clasp one another; No sister flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonbeams kiss the sea:- What are all these kissings worth, If thou kiss not me? .....Percy Bysshe Shelley. |
