The meaning of Romance will surely test
The truest quill, still-poised in wait...to tell —
What is the source? Where does the magic rest
That feeds the flow of ink to form the spell?
But how tell a stone what a breath will hush,
What ancient message of a vein is part —
A Romance must be felt — its silky rush
And, too, its often-sudden sting the heart
Must feel that longs to understand - Thus shield
Not the crimson vault! Let the rush inside
And stoke love’s infant embers to last yield
That flame by which eternal laws abide —
As to life is breath, to love is romance,
And so in life and love entwined we dance.

"But how tell a stone what a breath will hush"
Nice line. Indeed, what words could describe it adequately.

Must feel that longs to understand -

Loved these lines~
