W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM Quoted Again But Re-Formatted

________________________________________________________________________________________________

She wasn't a woman
who inspired love.
Only affection.
It was absurd to be
jealous over her.

She was like
a clear deep pool
in a forest glade
into which
it's heavenly to plunge,
but it's neither less cool
nor less crystalline
because a tramp
and a gypsy
and a gamekeeper
have plunged into it
before you.

  1. In other words, the kind of woman worth getting in line for,
    knowing that your turn will come sooner or later.
