XIII

And what matters the wherefores and the reasons,

and who we were and who we are; all doubt is dead

in this garden of blossoms that opens up in us

and about us, so far from men.

I do not argue, and do not desire to know, and

nothing will disturb what is but mystery and

gentle raptures and involuntary fervour and

tranquil soaring towards our heaven of hope.

I feel your brightness before understanding that

you are so; and it is my gladness, infinitely, to

perceive myself thus gently loving without asking

why your voice calls me.

Let us be simple and good--and day be minister of

light and affection to us; and let them say that

life is not made for a love like ours.
