Explore "Contending Forces" by Pauline E. Hopkins on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
All is ended now, the hope and the fear and the sorrow; / All the aching of heart, the restless, unsatisfied longing, / All the dull, deep pain, and constant anguish of patience!
Even as rivulets twain, from distant and separate sources, / Seeing each other afar, as they leap from the rocks, and pursuing / Each one its devious path, but drawing nearer and nearer, / Rush together at last, at their trysting-place in the forest; / So these lives / Rushed together at last, and one was lost in the other.
