From Love's Comedy by Henrik Ibsen

I have told it,-- My precious secret, and our three hearts hold it! (FALK: But have you thought about the future?) Thought? I?--thought about the future? No, from this Time forth I live but in the hour that is. In home shall all my happiness be sought; We hold Fate's reins, we drive her hither, thither, And neither friend nor mother shall have right To say unto my budding blossom: Wither! For I am earnest and her eyes are bright, And so it must unfold into the light! (FALK: Yes, Fortune likes you, you will serve her turn!) My spirits like wild music glow and burn; I feel myself a Titan: though a foss Opened before me--I would leap across!
