Relationships
LXXXI
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Relationships
More mad words like these--mere madness! friend, I need not write them
fuller,
For I hear my hot soul dropping on the lines in showers of tears.
Oh, a woman! friend, a woman! why, a beast had scarce been duller
Than roar bestial loud complaints against the shining of the spheres.
