Half-Lives.
I. ~~ Two were they, two ; but one They might have been. Each knew The other's spirit-fittest mate — apart. Ah, hapless 1 though once jealous Fortune drew Then almost heart to heart, > In a brief -lighted sun ! rr. So near they came, and then—they are So far ! They seemed like two who pass, Each on a world-long journey opposite Their two trains hurrying dark With long-drawn roar through the dread deep of night, (0 faces close — they almost touched, alas I 0 hands that might have thrilled with meeting spark ! 0 lips that might have kissed 1 0 eyes with folded sight Dreaming some vision bright !) In darkness and in mist.
