I cannot reason—I can only feel!

But thou hast language for all thoughts and feelings.

Thou art a scholar: and sometimes I think

We cannot walk together in this world!

The distance that divides us is too great!

Henceforth thy pathway lies among the stars;

I must not hold thee back.

Vic. Thou little skeptic!

Dost thou still doubt?—What I most prize in woman

Is her affection, not her intellect!
