Of our To Be, which was our Long Ago.

WHAT SHALL WE DO?

Here now forevermore our lives must part.
My path leads there, and yours another way.
What shall we do with this fond love, dear heart?
It grows a heavier burden day by day.
Hide it? In all earth's caverns, void and vast,
There is not room enough to hide it, dear;
Not even the mighty storehouse of the past
Could cover it from our own eyes, I fear.
Drown it? Why, were the contents of each ocean
Merged into one great sea, too shallow then
Would be its waters to sink this emotion
So deep it could not rise to life again.
Burn it? In all the furnace flames below,
It would not in a thousand years expire.
Nay! it would thrive, exult, expand, and grow,
For from its very birth it fed on fire.
Starve it? Yes, yes, that is the only way.
Give it no food, of glance, or word, or sigh;
No memories, even, of any bygone day;
No crumbs of vain regrets—so let it die.

I first discovered Ella Wheeler Wilcox's Poems of Passion on my grandparents' shelf many years ago. Now the book sits on my shelf. I love that I have a book from 1883 in my home. I love that it has passed through so many hands. (There's a handwritten

I found several entries within this 120 year old text that were thought provoking and perceptive [and I just love old books]. There were a few though that I failed to gain the rhythm and sometimes even an understanding. This may be due to the fact that I often read late into the night. My favorite l

If you enjoy poetry, you will love this book. I read it twice, and will read it again. My two favorite poems were "Solitude" and "Ad Infinem".

Truly inspiring! This is my first time reading anything written by Ella and yet I'm floored that her work reminds me so much of my adolescent poems. I can easily say that even though these were written in the late 1800s they are still relevant to present day situations. It's a comforting read, in th

Populist poetry. It's easygoing, accessible, light, and schmaltzy. It has its moments but is otherwise lowbrow, populist literature
