"The Orchard of Tears"
Sax Rohmer
Even in love, Dear Heart, there is exchange Of gifts and griefs, and so I render thee Vows for thy vows, and pay unfalteringly What love demands, nor ever deem it strange.
"A Woman's Love Letters"
Sophie M. Almon-Hensley
I shall know thee so glad, so radiant, so buoyantly poised heaven-high above all black necessity, whether here or far away, so unfalteringly turned toward the light upon the eagle wing of thy desire, that a reflection of thy radiance shall laugh into my lonely darkness.
"The Three Heron's Feathers"
Hermann Sudermann
