“You took me weak and unprepared.
I had not thought that you who shared
My days, my nights, my heart, my life,
Would slash me with a naked knife
And gently tell me not to bleed
But to accept your crazy creed.”
"And so it ends", quoted in V. Sackville-West : A Critical Biography (1974) by Michael Stevens, p. 91
