Explore "Love Is Enough" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Love is enough. Let us not ask for gold. / Wealth breeds false aims, and pride, and selfishness; / In those serene, Arcadian days of old / Men gave no thought to princely homes and dress. / The gods who dwelt on fair Olympia's height / Lived only for dear love and love's delight. / Love is enough.
Love is enough. Why should we care for fame? / Ambition is a most unpleasant guest: / It lures us with the glory of a name / Far from the happy haunts of peace and rest. / Let us stay here in this secluded place / Made beautiful by love's endearing grace! / Love is enough.
