“I tell thee more. The throb hath come unto thy day long and long. Yea, they be afulled o’ throb, and yet nay man taketh up the throbbing as doth the sea. The drop o’ me did seek and find, and throb met throb o’ loving. Yea, and even as doth the sea to throb out the silvered note o’ drop, even so doth she to throb out the love o’ me.”
This seems, in effect, a declaration that communications of this character are a matter of attunement, possible only between two natures of identical vibrations, one seeking and the other receptive. It indicates too that her rhythmical speech has an influence upon the facility of her utterances. At another time she described her own seeking in this verse:
How have I sought!
Yea, how have I asought,
And seeked me ever through the earth’s hours,
Amid the damp, cool moon, when winged scrape
Doth sound and cry unto the day
The waking o’ the hosts!
Yea, and ’mid the noon’s heat,
When Earth doth wither ’neath the sun,
