Maiden Ecstasy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Maiden Ecstasy
A seigneur, watching from his bay, Sees two dark lines, with danger in their trail, Bar the west sky, that, while she seems at play, A gust may sink her sail. More than his honour, than his life far more, He loves the venturous maid and spares not haste To push his boat out with his ashen oar, As though the fateful moment were her last.
She sees him, laughs, and drops her sail He presses on, rippling the sunny seas, Grateful to tell her love's alluring tale While sinks away the breeze. In lulled enchantment, boat by boat they sit Mating their hearts though it be not to wed Hers gives she, but her sire has plighted it, Whence had that laugh an echo with the dead.
