1710s, Psalm 98 "Joy to the World!" (1719)
“Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain”
Sonnet XXX from Fatal Interview (1931)
Context: Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
“Nor days nor any time detain.
Time past or any love
Cannot come again.”
Passent les jours et passent les semaines
Ni temps passé
Ni les amours reviennent
