'You see, we have to be forgiven...'
Sweetness, sweetness, sweetness
-Anonymous
You see, we have to be forgiven things;
This way happiness lies,
And if our life goes through gloomy times,
Why then, we'll be a pair of snivellers.
How good if our twin souls could blend
Vague desires with the infantile joy
Of walking free of women and men,
Backs turned on persecutors.
Let's be children, let's be two young girls
Free as air and full of wonder,
Who grow pale in simple groves of trees,
Not knowing even that they've been forgiven.
-Verlaine
