Excerpt from Eros Turannos
Edwin Arlington Robinson
he fears him, and will always ask
What fated her to choose him;
She meets in his engaging mask
All reasons to refuse him;
But what she meets and what she fears 5
Are less than are the downward years,
Drawn slowly to the foamless weirs
of age, were she to lose him
Between a blurred sagacity
That once had power to sound him, 10
And Love, that will not let him be
The Judas that she found him,
Her pride assuages her almost,
As if it were alone the cost. --
He sees that he will not be lost, 15
And waits and looks around him.
