To Debbie - A dedication Yours is the beauty to quench the thirst of hearts of men, so love-forlorn The truth of passion, yours alone and only you can love-reborn. And many shall flock to you en-masse with dire a need to love inflame I too, in hope, shall wait my turn so strong the urge to feel the same. The essence of love is all of you and you, and you, and you, again You are the true ‘sine qua non’ for love to be a worthy gain Please gift to me a right to taste of this good thing the heart creates Please let me cast a longing gaze upon the face that loving sates. (The Fg 81.5.8)
