Yea, and not all the storms of all the seas

Shall drag you from me! Nay, you shall not go!

For we will live together on this isle

Which time has builded in the deeps for us--

We two together, one in ecstasy,

Throughout eternity; for time shall fall

From off us; and the world shall be no more:

And God, if God should stand between us now..."

Faltering, he paused; and Marna stood, afraid,

Quaking before him; but she spake no word.
