Ernest Christopher Dowson - To A Lady Asking Foolish QuestionsErnest Christopher Dowson - To A Lady Asking Foolish Questions
Work rating: Low


Why am I sorry, Chloe? Because the moon is far:   And who am I to be straitened in a little earthly star?   Because thy face is fair? And what if it had not been,   The fairest face of all is the face I have not seen.   Because the land is cold, and however I scheme and plot,   I cannot find a ferry to the land where I am not.   Because thy lips are red and thy breasts upbraid the snow?   (There is neither white nor red in the pleasance where I go.)   Because thy lips grow pale and thy breasts grow dun and fall?   I go where the wind blows, Chloe, and am not sorry at all.
