Dear List,
Doesn't this poem remind you of HH sleepless in bed, next to Lolita, in
hotel The Enchanted Hunters?
*Dawn* by: Arthur Symons<http://www.blackcatpoems.com/s/arthur_symons.html>
(1865-1945)
Here in the little room
You sleep the sleep of innocent tired
youth<http://www.notable-quotes.com/y/youth_quotes.html>
,
While I, in very sooth,
Tired, and awake beside you in the gloom,
Watch for the dawn, and feel the morning make
A loneliness about me for your sake. You are so young, so fair,
And such a child, and might have loved so well;
And now, I cannot tell,
But surely one might love you anywhere,
Come to you as a lover, and make bold
To beg for that which all may buy with gold. Your sweet, scarce lost, estate
Of innocence <http://www.notable-quotes.com/i/innocence_quotes.html>, the
candour of your eyes,
Your childlike, pleased surprise,
Your patience: these afflict me with a weight
As of some heavy wrong that I must share
With God who made, and man who found you, fair.
