Love is Enough (1872), Song VII: Dawn Talks to Day
Context: Morn shall meet noon
While the flower-stems yet move,
Though the wind dieth soon
And the clouds fade above.
Loved lips are thine
As I tremble and hearken;
Bright thine eyes shine,
Though the leaves thy brow darken.
O Love, kiss me into silence, lest no word avail me,
Stay my head with thy bosom lest breath and life fail me!
O sweet day, O rich day, made long for our love!
“Being comes before well-being.”
As quoted by Chief Justice John Greig Latham in his sole dissent in Australian Communist Party v Commonwealth (1951), for his argument that defence is the pre-eminent responsibility of the state
