", I have no love for thee!" "When have I asked for love? lie still and learn Beneath the stars, how I would give thee all." "But thou art hurting me, thy kisses burn!"

"I shall not hurt thee, if thou willst consent, Resist me not, thou dost but fire my brain, Hinder thou canst not; see, I loose thy hands And in a moment capture them again."

"Ah, blame me not, it was not I who made This sad chaotic world that wounds us so With life and love and death,—aimless alike" "Inayet Kahn! have pity, let me go!"
