But if I bare my heart, perhaps, you ll tire. TELEMACHUS Tire of the best that I have ever known? Achilles in such love had found fresh strength. DORIS Nurse says that men care but for what they lack, While certainty breaks off the edge of zest. TELEMACHUS (rises) Don t listen to that foolish body s talk. Assurance is the door to fullest joy; Beyond the mark of union lies our bliss, For happiness can only grow with trust. [42] THE RETURN OF ODYSSEUS DORIS If I am good to you as I am now, Will y...ou then love me always me alone? TELEMACHUS Your goodness and your love o erpower me, Till grateful wonder burdens me with pain, That I so poor return can offer you, For heaven s revealed gift to my ignorant heart. DORIS A god alive you give me who wants more? And I could kneel in worship endlessly. O, how I long to help you in your life! Can I not help when we at last are wed? TELEMACHUS You help me now, more than my words can tell. DORIS How does it seem to have a girl your slave? TELEMACHUS No, not a slave, my goddess, soon my queen.
