The carnal mystery<br>Of a soft hand, of finger--tips that press,<br>Of eyes that kindle and of lips that kiss,<br>Of sweet things known to thee and only thee?<br>You ask my love. What love can be more sweet<br>Than hope or pleasure? Yet we love in vain.<br>The soul is more than joy, the life than meat.<br>The sweetest love of all were love in pain,<br>And that I will not give. So let it be.<br>--Nay, give me any love, so it be love of thee.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Wilfrid+Scawen+Blunt">Wilfrid Scawen Blunt</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=536595" data-title="The Love Sonnets Of Proteus.
