a dedication to my wife 致我妻子

a dedication to my wife 致我妻子

thomas stearns eilot

to whom i owe the leaping delight

that quickens my senses in our waking-time

and the rhythm that governs the repose of our sleeping-time,

the breathing in unison.

of lovers whose bodies smell of each other

who think the same thoughts without need of speech,

and babble the same speech without need of meaning...

no peevish winter wind shall chill

no sullen tropic sun shall witherthe roses in the rose-garden

which is ours and ours only

but this dedication is for others to read:

these are private words addressed to you in public.
