    We may live without poetry, music and art;

    By choice they made themselves immune
    To pity and whatever moans in man
    Before the last sea and the hapless stars;
    Whatever mourns when many leave these shores;
    Whatever shares
    The eternal reciprocity of tears.
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    Love that so desires would fain keep her changeless;
    Fain would fling the net, and fain have her free.
