"Say those pretty lines, then, from Shelley's 'Epipsychidion' as if they meant me!" she solicited, slanting up closer to him as they stood. "Don't you know them?" ¡¡¡¡ "I know hardly any poetry," he replied mournfully. ¡¡¡¡ "Don't you? These are some of them: ¡¡¡¡ There was a Being whom my spirit oft Met on its visioned wanderings far aloft. ¡¡¡¡ A seraph of Heaven, too gentle to be human, Veiling beneath that radiant form of woman.... ¡¡¡¡ Oh it is too flattering, so I won't go on! But say it's me! Say it's me!" ¡¡¡¡ "It is you, dear; exactly like you!" ¡¡¡¡ "Now I forgive you! And you shall kiss me just once there-- not very long." She put the tip of her finger gingerly to her cheek; and he did as commanded. "You do care for me very much, don't you, in spite of my not--you know?" ¡¡¡¡ "Yes, sweet!" he said with a sigh; and bade her good-night.
