Dominion lasts until obtained —

Possession just as long —

But these — endowing as they flit

Eternally belong.


How everlasting are the Lips

Known only to the Dew —

These are the Brides of permanence...

Poet:

           Make me no vows of constancy, dear friend,

           To love me, though I die, thy whole life long,

           And love no other till thy days shall end;

           Nay, it were rash and wrong.


           If...

Poet:

Until the Desert knows

That Water grows

His Sands suffice

But let him once suspect

That Caspian Fact

Sahara dies


Utmost is relative —

Have not or Have

Adjacent sums
...
