Edith Nesbit - Retro SanthanasEdith Nesbit - Retro Santhanas
Work rating: Low


"REFUSE, refrain: for this is not the love The Annunciation Angel warned you of; This is the little candle, not the sun; It burns, but will not warm, unhappy one!" "But ah! suppose the sun should never shine, Then what an anguish of regret were mine To know that even from this I turned away! Candles may serve, if there should be no day." "Nay, better to go cold your whole life long Than do the sun, than do your soul such wrong: And if the sun shine not, be life`s the blame And yours the pride, who scorned the meaner flame."
