    And putting Love away
    We shall not want to use again
    Until Eternity.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    The heavy burden of the growing soul
    Perplexes and offends more, day by day;
    Week by week, offends and perplexes more
    With the imperatives of “is and seems”
    And may and may not, desire and control.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
