Said Death to passion: "Give of . . ."

Said Passion, through contracting Breaths
"A Thousand Times Thee Nay."

Bore Death from Passion
All His East
He -- sovereign as the Sun

Resituated in the West
And the Debate was done.

Do you like Emily Dickinson?

I do. There's grace in her lines.

A simple grace that I enjoy.

"...Thine an Acre unto me."
Said Passion, through contracting Breaths
"A Thousand Times Thee Nay."

Interesting taste.

*She tilts her head and kneels down to study the child.*

You do not like Emily Dickinson?

She has her place.

As does everyone. Where is your place?

In the hearts of man.

You are certainly cute enough to reside there.
