Thomas Hardy (Томас Гарди (Харди))


She, to Him. 4


This love puts all humanity from me; 
I can but maledict her, pray her dead, 
For giving love and getting love of thee – 
Feeding a heart that else mine own had fed! 

How much I love I know not, life not known, 
Save as one unit I would add love by; 
But this I know, my being is but thine own – 
Fused from its separateness by ecstasy. 

And thus I grasp thy amplitudes, of her 
Ungrasped, though helped by nigh-regarding eyes; 
Canst thou then hate me as an envier 
Who see unrecked what I so dearly prize? 
Believe me, Lost One, Love is lovelier 
The more it shapes its moan in selfish-wise. 

1866
