ENCOUNTER (The enigmatic Mr.Darcy and Elizabeth's situation)

Folder: 
JOURNAL #22

pray be the prize

he who hath so little

welcome in his eyes

he who sees with but  

his own vanity

a marvel of such sarcastic gape

a gentleman without a drip of charm

drinking in her reverent beauty

at an astonishing rate

why a pirouette could trip up his

tangled tongue

she catches his eye but it is he who has

won

she the sketchist

knows such profile well

on the eve of repercussion's amusement

denial is futile

pleasure makes mince meat out of society's good

opinion

so bid adieau to your heart dear sir

and grant folly a lighter dominion

of sentence

as love wears out

yet another sort of hat today...........

(Dec. 24, 1999)
