Excerpt from Eros Turannos Edwin Arlington Robinson She fears him, and will always ask What fated her to choose him; She meets in his engaging mask All reasons to refuse him; But what she meets and what she fears Meanwhile we do no harm; for they That with a god have striven, Not hearing much of what we say, Take what the god has given; Though like waves breaking it may be, Or like a changed familiar tree, Or like a stairway to the sea Where down the blind are driven. Are less than are the downward years, Drawn slowly to the foamless weirs Of age, were she to lose him.
