Some lines :
Lovers, when they marry, face
Eternity with touching grace,
Complacent at being fated,
Never to be separated.
The bride is always pretty, the groom
A lucky man. The darkened room
Roars out the joys of flesh and blood
The use of nakedness is good.
Why should I ruin the mystery,
By harping on the suffering rest,
Myself a frequent wedding guest.
- Nissim Ezekiel
Behold her, single in the field, Yon solitary Highland Lass! Reaping and singing by herself; Stop here, or gently pass!

Since for me now you have no warmth to spare
I sense I must adopt a sane and spare
Philosophy to ease a restless state
Fuelled by this uncaring. It will state
A very meagre truth: love like the rest
Of our emotions, sometimes needs a rest.
Happiness, too, no doubt; and so, why even
Hope that 'the course of true love' could run even?
