Yes, yes, yes. And with desire, I know not why, to lay my lips to yours! Then life, it seems, would burst all ill that binds it. [ (Instinctively; clasping her.) Oh this is sweeter than all other joys Of holiness that I have ever known. Your voice is like to piping of the koils That play in spring. (Koil: And Koil am I named.) And what is this I feel for you, O wise one? In skies from whence you come, what is its name? So pure are you that surely you can tell me? (Koil: O holy one, the people call it love.) Then is love better than all other bliss My father's meditations ever bring. And I will seek thro all the lapse of lives To hold you thus, And have your arms about me, As vines about the asoka clingingly. Happy am I that you have found me out, And never shall you leave me.
