CLXXXVIII70
Bougeureau's Invading Cupid's Realm
With lover's lips my woman says
that I'm the only one!

But what a lover swears today
tomorrow: it is gone.

Enthralled by passions she may write
that she is in Love's snare

--But what thus lover writes is writ
on water, in the air.

Weyden's Portrait of A Lady
