“Alas! is even love too weak
To unlock the heart, and let it speak?”

Matthew Arnold (1822–1888) English poet and cultural critic who worked as an inspector of schools

" The Buried Life http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/arnold/writings/buriedlife.html" (1852), st. 2
Context: Alas! is even love too weak
To unlock the heart, and let it speak?
Are even lovers powerless to reveal
To one another what indeed they feel?
I knew the mass of men conceal'd
Their thoughts, for fear that if reveal'd
They would by other men be met
With blank indifference, or with blame reproved;
I knew they lived and moved
Trick'd in disguises, alien to the rest
Of men, and alien to themselves — and yet
The same heart beats in every human breast!

“We cannot keep thieves from looking in at our windows, but we need not give them entertainment with open doors.”
