On her sweet self set her own price,

Had made brutes men and men divine. — Coventry Patmore

Love After Love
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life. — Derek Walcott
Is it honest for me to go and sit there on communion day and drink the wine and eat the bread while feeling it all to be mummery? — John Fiske
