SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE AND OTHER LOVE POEMS 精彩片段：
To George Sand: A Desire
To George Sand: A Desire
THOU large-brained woman and large-hearted man,
Self-called George Sand ! whose soul, amid the lions
Of thy tumultuous senses, moans defiance
And answers roar for roar, as spirits can:
I would some mild miraculous thunder ran
Above the applauded circus, in appliance
Of thine own nobler natures strength and science,
Drawing two pinions, white as wings of swan,
From thy strong shoulders, to amaze the place
With holier light ! that thou to womans claim
And mans, mightst join beside the angels grace
Of a pure genius sanctified from blame
Till child and maiden pressed to thine embrace
