"While unhurried days come and go,
Let us turn to each other in quiet affection,
Walk in peace to the edge of the old age.
And I shall be with you each unhurried day,
A woman given her one wish: to see
For a lifetime the face of her Lord."
This was a jewel I found in the archaeological words of my Art History book. The feelings this brings out change drastically when you change who the speaker is. I read this first as coming from the mind of the "woman" mentioned and dreamily imagined a life where I could walk around unhurriedly with the love of my life. Then I read it again as the words of the "Lord" in the last line.
The only image that came to mind was this guy:
Let us turn to each other in quiet affection,
Walk in peace to the edge of the old age.
And I shall be with you each unhurried day,
A woman given her one wish: to see
For a lifetime the face of her Lord."
