“In the course of twenty crowded years one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.”

On those cool waters where we used to dwell,
I would have rather felt you round my throat
Crushing out life than waving me farewell!”
