LOVE OR DEATH, by PAULUS SILENTIARIUS Poet's Biography First Line: Shall we for ever stealing looks of fire Last Line: One lot together, be it life or death. Alternate Author Name(s): Paul The Silent; Paul The Silentiary | ||||||||
SHALL we for ever stealing looks of fire Fling covert glances thus with bated breath? Nay, tell aloud our loves: and if we fail Of those soft claspings, where pain vanisheth, The sword shall bring deliverance. Better far One lot together, be it life or death. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TEARS OF FEAR by PAULUS SILENTIARIUS THE VAIN FAREWELL by PAULUS SILENTIARIUS THE BLUEBIRD by EMILY DICKINSON THE SONG OF THE BOW, FR.
