Unless you are sure

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.

Knew aught save that it thrilled with life,
Nor cared because the hammock fell
In the dust with Milton's poems.

And now from the battlements of time, behold:
Thrice thirty million souls being bound together
In the love of larger truth,
Rapt in the expectation of the birth
Of a new Beauty,
Sprung from Brotherhood and Wisdom.
Edgar Lee Masters
And there is the silence of the dead.
