from A Bride in the 30s

But Love except at our proposal
Will do no trick at his disposal,
Without opinions of his own performs
The programme that we think of merit, 
And through our private stuff must work
     His public spirit. 

Certain it became, while still incomplete, 
There were prizes for which we would never compete:
A choice was killed by each childish illness,
The boiling tears among the hot-house plants,
The rigid promise fractured in the garden,
     And the long aunts.

While every day there bolted from the field
Desires to which we could not yield,
Fewer and clearer grew our plans,
Schemes for a life-time, sketches for a hatred,
And early among my interesting scrawls
     Appeared your portrait.

You stand before me, flesh and bone
That ghosts would like to make their own:
Beware them, look away, be deaf,
When rage would proffer her immediate pleasure
Or glory swap her fascinating rubbish
     For your treasure. 

– W.H. Auden (1934)
