Although a poor blind boy!”

“So unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was I to see and to foresee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom yet for many a May.
If only I could recollect it, such
A day of days! I let it come and go
As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
If only now I could recall that touch,
First touch of hand in handDid one but know!”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (18301894)
“As if he were
a pot of dates
in a blind mans hand,
Mothers,
they pilfer my husband
and theyre jealous of me!
The cobras hood
has come out of its tail.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
