To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
V To love ! That is my prayer — Gifted to love, Just the old simple everlasting way : Of all life's gifts •That is the gift I crave. I ask not kindness, I ask not any gift or any grace, Or any charity ; The love I mean Is not for you to give or take away. That you are cruel Shall be no less provocative 141 142 Than that you're kind, And whether you remember or forget Shall to the love I crave Be equal lure. I ask not nearness, — You are ever near ; I ask not sympathy In common aims, I ask not c...omprehension, I ask not anything. Only I pray to love, And bring my heart Gladly for you to break — If break it can — Gladly to feel your fair contemptuous feet 143 Grind it beneath you In the passionate dust. Yea, break my heart, For that were ecstasy ! Think not 'tis you I crave, You to possess, command, nay ! nor to serve ; My love would not be kind, Nor live in offices of tenderness ; You to the thing I crave Are but the accident from which it springs. It is not admiration. It is not gratitude, It is only love — A madness, 144 A glory burning in the lonely brain, A fearful fire filling the lonely heart.
