"Untitled"
by George Eliot
Love is such a simple thing when we have only one and twenty summers
and a sweet girl of seventeen trembles under our glance opening her heart with wondering rapture.
Such young and unfurrowed souls mingle as easily as two brooklets that ask for nothing
but to entwine themselves and ripple with ever-interlacing curves in the leafiest hiding places.
How is it that poets have said so many fine things about our first love, so few about our later love?
Are their first poems their best?
Or are they not the best which come from their fuller thoughts, their larger experiences,
their deeper rooted affections?
The boy's flute-like voice has its own spring charm; but the man should yield a richer, deeper music.
This is our home page - things we do and are interested in.
We have two wonderful Maine Coon cats and do quite a lot of birdwatching.
