Opis: A Doffed Coronet - Cunliffe-Owen Marguerite

Excerpt from A Doffed Coronet: A True Story

"Give me no gems, dear heart, I pray,"
My lady said. "What true love may
Endure to touch them Treacherous, cold,
Reptilian things, with crime enrolled,
Would they their histories betray!

"Rubies are blood. Can aught allay
Those evil fires that day by day
Bum in the opal's heart of gold
Give me no gems!

"Emeralds are eyes of hate, men say;
There's dull revenge in sapphires; gray
Sad ghosts would whisper from the mould
The pearl's white pestilence, and hold
The diamond crafty scheming. Nay,
Give me no gems!"

M. M.

The day was drawing to a close, and the golden twilight fell with infinite softness over the Egyptian landscape. A great, round moon, suffused with the rosy blush of her awakening hour, rose above the palmtrees, casting her magic all over the gardens, where each branch, twig, and leaf was rapidly assuming a sparkle of liquid diamonds.
