How?
original poem
To knowing where here is?
From knowing what you hear
To knowing what the ear is?
How long is it from yesterday's
Affirmative for yes to fade?
How long for shade of romance lost
To pale, and shrink, and turn to jade?
How wide the gulf of love forgot,
How soon the ache of death?
How thin the line between two souls,
Between their lungs how great the breadth?
How like the seasons passions turn
And fall upon the spit,
To petrify in amb'ring time
Sublime, and sad, love-knit.
