Consider also:

  1. “Note the introduction of the name of the Beloved in acrostic in line 15.”
  2. “Love, I love you! Night, night, cover us! Thou art night, O my love; and there are no stars but thine eyes.”
  3. “Dark night, sweet night, so warm and yet so fresh, so scented yet so holy, cover me, cover me!”
  4. “This now introduces the principal character of this book, Laylah, who is the ultimate feminine symbol, to be interpreted on all planes.”
  5. “Love Alway Yieldeth: Love Alway Hardeneth. . . . . . . . . . . May be: I write it but to write Her name.”

I use affiliate links on this blog when possible. Affiliate links include Amazon, Bookshop, Abebooks; and less frequently Powell's and DriveThruRPG. I may earn a small commission if you click through and make purchases.

I run ads on this site to help pay the bills and keep the lights on, including Google, Amazon, and, a scrappy indie network, ComicAd. If you use an ad blocker, consider becoming an ongoing supporter on Patreon, Bandcamp, or Ko-Fi to chip in and continue guilt free.

Some images on this site are created using AI/ML generators (MidJourney and Dall-E) when posts otherwise wouldn't have pictures or they seem fun to me to add.
