Robert Louis Stevenson - After Reading "Antony And Cleopatra"
Work rating: Medium

AS when the hunt by holt and field
Drives on with horn and strife,
Hunger of hopeless things pursues
Our spirits throughout life.

The sea`s roar fills us aching full
Of objectless desire -
The sea`s roar, and the white moon-shine,
And the reddening of the fire.

Who talks to me of reason now?
It would be more delight
To have died in Cleopatra`s arms
Than be alive to-night.
