The Prisoner

All right,
Go ahead!
What's in a name?
I guess I'll be locked into
As much as I'm locked out of!

But she was not made for any man, and she will never be all mine.

But you are mobile as the veering air, And all your charms more changeful than the tide, Wherefore to be inconstant is no care: I have but to continue at your side. So wanton, light and false, my love, are you, I am most faithless when I most am true.

Pity me that the heart is slow to learn What the swift mind beholds at every turn. - Edna St. Vincent Millay
