And then when I found what you were:
That your soul was small
And your words were false
As your blue-white porcelain teeth,
And your cuffs of celluloid,
I hated the love I had for you,
I hated myself, I hated you
For my wasted soul, and wasted youth.
(Robert Southey Burke)

Take its meaning to heart:
You too may walk, after the hills at Miller's Ford
Seem no longer far away;
Long after you see them near at hand,
Beyond four miles of meadow;
And after woman's love is silent,
Saying no more: I will save you.
Edgar Lee Masters

Brimming over my heart, so I went to see Richard
To settle the fence in the spirit of Jesus Christ.

Had just been wrecked, I might have escaped with my life --
Certainly I should have escaped this place.
Edgar Lee Masters
I beat the windows, shook the bolts,
And hid me in a corner-
And then she died and haunted me,
And hunted me for life.
