Welcome

“Let us read, and let us dance;
these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.”

Sonnet VII - Hartley Coleridge

I made this: Unknown at 4:40 pm
Sonnet VII



Is love a fancy, or a feeling?
No. It is immortal as immaculate Truth,
'Tis not a blossom shed as soon as youth,
Drops from the stem of life--for it will grow,
In barren regions, where no waters flow,
Nor rays of promise cheats the pensive gloom.
A darkling fire, faint hovering o'er a tomb,
That but itself and darkness nought doth show,
It is my love's being yet it cannot die,
Nor will it change, though all be changed beside;
Though fairest beauty be no longer fair,
Though vows be false, and faith itself deny,
Though sharp enjoyment be a suicide,
And hope a spectre in a ruin bare.
