Thou hast committed —
Fornication: but that was in another country,
And besides, the wench is dead.
(The Jew of Malta)IAmong the smoke and fog of a December afternoonYou have the scene arrange itself — as it will seem to do—With "I have saved this afternoon for you";And four wax candles in the darkened room,Four rings of light upon the ceiling overhead,An atmosphere of Juliet's tombPrepared for all the things to be said, or left unsaid.We have been, let us say, to hear the latest PoleTransmit the Preludes, through his hair and finger-tips."So intimate, this Chopin, that I think his soulShould be resurrected only among friendsSome two or three, who will not touch the bloomThat is rubbed and questioned in the concert room."—And so the conversation slipsAmong velleities and carefully caught regretsThrough attenuated tones of violinsMingled with remote cornetsAnd begins.
