I well may say ...
There's something that you ... Ah!
O lady, what have I done beyond repair!...
What have I lost within this gulf of shame! For a paltry pleasure have I sold my dream, Whose pinions would have lifted you at last?
I came to-night, as first I would have said, With holy gratitude-- For a love I thought you gave. With gratitude that honor well could speak, I thought, and yet be honor; With gratitude forgetful of all else ... And trusting ... But no matter: All trust shall be embalmed and laid away. I go with pity; seeing My husband--is even as other men.
Lello! Have I dreamed?
Did Laura come to me out of the night-- Come as the first voice breaking beyond death To one despairing? And was I lifted up to Heaven's dawn? And then ...
God! am I falling...? shall I ever...? Down this...? ... My friend stay with me! No, go ... and take them with you--Sancia--all!... I have slain the Spring forever! The green of the whole fair world!... O Laura! Laura!
