First lines
Dear one! you sit there in the corner of the carriage; and you do not know me; and your eyes forbid.
Is it the dirt, the squalor, the wear of human bodies, and the dead faces of our neighbours? These are but symbols.
You are proud; I praise you; your mouth is set; you see beyond us; and you see nothing.
I have the vision of your calm, cold face, and of the black hair that waves above it; I watch you; I love you; I desire you.
