The last poems of Alice Meynell

REFLEXIONS (II) IN “OTHELLO”

Reading edition

A mirror faced a mirror: in sweet pain

His dangers with her pity did she track,

Received her pity with his love again,

And these she wafted back.

That masculine passion in her little breast

She bandied with him; her compassion he

Bandied with her. What tender sport! No rest

Had love’s infinity.
