AURORA<br />
Where we yearn to lose ourselves <strong>and</strong> melt like white pearls in another's wine. He seeks<br />
to double himself by what he loves <strong>and</strong> make his drink more costly by our pearls.<br />
YOUNG AURORA<br />
Romney wants a wife. After all, why not?<br />
AURORA<br />
If I could ride with naked soul <strong>and</strong> make no noise <strong>and</strong> pay no price, I would have seen<br />
thee sooner, my Italy. For I have heard thee crying to me through my life, through the<br />
piercing silence of exstatic graves.<br />
YOUNG AURORA<br />
But even a witch these days must melt down gold pieces to anoint her broomstick ere she<br />
rides. And poets are ever scant of gold.<br />
AURORA<br />

shoes to walk there?<br />
YOUNG AURORA<br />
I will sell my father's books. And so be almost rich.<br />
Tomorrow, no delay.<br />
AURORA<br />
