Chapter VII
A BROKEN OAR We are in love's land to-day; Where shall we go? Love, shall we start or stay, Or sail or row? There's many a wind and way, And never a May but May; We are in love's hand to-day; Where shall we go? --_Swinburne_. The white clouds of the later afternoon cruised dreamily between green wood and blue sky.
