That veils us from each other, but which flowed,
Two souls in unison, as when two flames
Meet, and are one, and have a common life.

And children are his messengers on earth.”

I see so many children whom I bore:
But there are none of Merow’s children there;
Our marriage was a moment: and our sons
Were dreams we saw in one another’s eyes.
