Two Elves by John Quincy Adams (Late 19th - Early 20th Century)

[edwardian-girl-next-door]

"But when I see thee roam, with tresses unconfined,

While the amorous, odorous wind

Breathes low between the sunset and the moon;

Or, in a shadowy saloon,

On silken cushions half reclined;

I watch thy grace; and in its place

My heart a charmed slumber keeps,

While I muse upon thy face;

And a languid fire creeps

Thro' my veins to all my frame,

Dissolvingly and slowly; soon

From thy rose-red lips MY name

Floweth; and then, as in a swoon,

With dinning sounds ears my ears are rife,

My tremulous tongue faltereth,

I lose my colour, I lose my breath,

I drink the cup of a costly death,

Brimm'd with delirious draughts of warmest life.

I die with delight before

I hear what I would hear from thee;

Yet tell my name again to me,

I would be dying evermore,

So dying ever, Eleänore."

quote: Alfred, Lord Tennyson, "Eleänore" (1832)

art: John William Waterhouse, "Lamia" (1916)
