“ليت أسماء تعرف أن أباها صعد
لم يمت
هل يموت الذي كان يحيا
كأن الحياة أبد
وكأن الشراب نفد
و كأن البنات الجميلات يمشين فوق الزبد
عاش منتصباً، بينما
ينحني القلب يبحث عما فقد.
ليت "أسماء"
تعرف أن أباها الذي
حفظ الحب والأصدقاء تصاويره
وهو يضحك
وهو يفكر
وهو يفتش عما يقيم الأود .
ليت "أسماء" تعرف أن البنات الجميلات
خبأنه بين أوراقهن
وعلمنه أن يسير
ولا يلتقي بأحد .”

“My dearest Emma," said he, "for dearest you will always be, whatever the event of this hour's conversation, my dearest, most beloved Emma -- tell me at once. Say 'No,' if it is to be said." She could really say nothing. "You are silent," he cried, with great animation; "absolutely silent! at present I ask no more."
Emma was almost ready to sink under the agitation of this moment. The dread of being awakened from the happiest dream, was perhaps the most prominent feeling.
"I cannot make speeches, Emma," he soon resumed; and in a tone of such sincere, decided, intelligible tenderness as was tolerably convincing. "If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am. You hear nothing but truth from me. I have blamed you, and lectured you, and you have borne it as no other woman in England would have borne it. Bear with the truths I would tell you now, dearest Emma, as well as you have borne with them. The manner, perhaps, may have as little to recommend them. God knows, I have been a very indifferent lover. But you understand me. Yes, you see, you understand my feelings and will return them if you can. At present, I ask only to hear, once to hear your voice.”
