| The Gentleman... Robert Graves... |
|
That he knows more of love than you, by far, And suffers more, has long been his illusion. His faults, he hopes, are few- maybe they are, With a life barred against common confusion; but that he knows far less and suffers less, Protected by his age, his reputation, His gentlemanly sanctimoniousness, Has blinded him to the dumb grief that lies Warring with love of love in your young eyes. |
