Porphyria's Lover - Short Quotes Flashcards
The sullen…
The sullen wind was soon awake,
It tore the elm tops down for spite,
And did its worst to vex the lake:
Supertitle.
Madhouse cell.
When glided…
When glided in Porphyria:
And made…
And made the cheerless grate
Blaze up and all the cottage warm
Laid her…
Laid her soiled gloves by, untied
Her hat and let her damp hair fall
And called..
And called me. When no voice replied,
Too weak…
Too weak, for all her hearts endeavor,
To set its struggling passion free
And give…
And give herself to me forever
Be sure…
Be sure I looked up at her eyes
Happy and proud; at last I knew
Porphyria worshipped me
While I…
While I debated what to do
That moment…
That moment she was mine, mine, fair
Perfectly pure and good
I found…
I found A thing to do, and all her hair In one long yellow string I wound Three times her little throat around, And strangled her.
No pain…
No pain felt she;
I am quite sure she felt no pain.
Laughed the…
Laughed the blue eyes without a stain
Her cheek…
Her cheek once more
Blushed bright beneath my burning kiss
