This heart, I know,
To be long loved was never framed,
For something in its depths doth glow
Too strange, too restless, too untamed.
To be long loved was never framed,
For something in its depths doth glow
Too strange, too restless, too untamed.
– Matthew Arnold, A Farewell

Print fascinated her, dazed her, made her good for nothing.
– Kylie Tennant, Ride On Stranger (1943)
