You may discover that this attitude has been forced upon you by mass media and the crass culture it creates and maintains.

That it should come to this! But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two: (140) So excellent a king; that was, to this."

"You, Beloved, who are all the gardens I have ever gazed at, longing. An open window in a country house - , and you almost stepped out, pensive, to meet me. Streets that I chanced upon, - you had just walked down them and vanished. And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors were still dizzy with your presence and, startled, gave back my too-sudden image. Who knows? Perhaps the same bird echoed through both of us yesterday, separate, in the evening."
