Oh, I know it fills him with joy—​

this hard and passionate certainty​

that there is nothing he needs,​

and nothing I can keep from him.

1 January 1914

N.V.N.

There is a sacred, secret line in loving​

which attraction and even passion cannot cross,—​

even if lips draw near in awful silence​

and love tears at the heart.

Friendship is weak and useless here,​

and years of happiness, exalted and full of fire,​

because the soul is free and does not know​

the slow luxuries of sensual life.
