Joaquin Miller's Poems | ||
XXIX
Love lifts on white wings to the gatesOf Paradise and enters in:
Lust has for wings two leaden weights
That sink into the lake of sin.
Lust squats, toad-like, his loathsome cell,
Love seeks the light, on, on, above;
Love is as God, as God is love,
But lust is Lucifer in hell.
