A Spiritual Woman

 






Close your eyes, my love, let me make you blind;  
     They have taught you to see  
Only a mean arithmetic on the face of things,  
A cunning algebra in the faces of men,  
     And God like geometry
Completing his circles, and working cleverly.  
 
I’ll kiss you over the eyes till I kiss you blind;  
     If I can—if any one could.  
Then perhaps in the dark you’ll have got what you want to find.
You’ve discovered so many bits, with your clever eyes,
     And I’m a kaleidoscope  
That you shake and shake, and yet it won’t come to your mind.
Now stop carping at me.—But God, how I hate you!  
     Do you fear I shall swindle you?  
Do you think if you take me as I am, that that will abate you
Somehow?—so sad, so intrinsic, so spiritual, yet so cautious, you
Must have me all in your will and your consciousness—  
     I hate you.



D H Lawrence
