I do not ask any more delight—I swim in it, as in a sea.

I'll never be a poet,' said Amory as he finished.

I may turn out an intellectual, but I'll never right anything but mediocre poetry.

Moon and Sea You are the moon, dear love, and I the sea: The tide of hope swells high within my breast, And hides the rough dark rocks of life's unrest When your fond eyes smile near in perigee. But when that loving face is turned from me, Low falls the tide, and the grim rocks appear, And earth's dim coast-line seems a thing to fear. You are the moon, dear one, and I the sea.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
