Explore "Fiction and Fact" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In books I read, how men have lived and died, / With hopeless love deep in their bosoms hidden. / While she for whom they long in secret sighed, / Went on her way, nor guessed this flame unbidden.
In real life, I never chanced to see / The woman who was loved, and did not know it, / And observation proves this fact to me: / No man can love a woman and not show it.
