perpétuellement
ses doutes sur la qualité de son
visage, de son corps, de toute sa beauté, affaiblissait son amour, ces
doutes furent détruits, cet amour assuré quand il eut à la place pour
base les données d’une esthétique certaine; sans compter que le baiser
et la possession qui semblaient naturels et médiocres s’ils lui
étaient accordés par une chair abîmée, venant couronner l’adoration
d’une pièce de musée, lui parurent devoir être surnaturels et

IF I COULD TAKE THIS LOVE FROM OUT MY HEART
By Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff
If I could take this love from out my heart And go my way in silence and alone, Unweeping, and to fear and joy unknown
Forgetful of the world's bright-colored mart — Passing amidst the human throng apart
Like one who walks with beauty in the night
Remembering all the tears and vain delight,— The rapture and the pain that were my part— Then I could watch again the
swallows
dart
Into the sky's blue dome unenvyingly,
Knowing I am at last as they are, free.
