Love is not all: It is not meat nor drink
\nNor slumber nor a roof against the rain,
\nNor yet a floating spar to men that sink
\nand rise and sink and rise and sink again.
\nLove cannot fill the thickened lung with breath
\nNor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
\nYet many a man is making friends with death
\neven as I speak, for lack of love alone.
\nIt well may be that in a difficult hour,
\npinned down by need and moaning for release
\nor nagged by want past resolution’s power,
\nI might be driven to sell your love for peace,
\nOr trade the memory of this night for food.
\nIt may well be. I do not think I would.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
