Love Is Not All: It Is Not Meat Nor Drink

[ابو اسامه]

Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath
Nor clean the blood nor set the fractured bone
Yet many a man is making friend with death
Even as I speak for lack of love alone
It well mabye that in a difficult hour
Pinned down by pain and moaning for release
Or nagged by want past resulation's power
I might be driven to sell your love for peace
Or trade the memory of this night for food
it well maybe. I do not think I would



The word the meaning
Nor or ولا
Slumber Sleep
pin down يثبت و يرسخ
Nag Bother يزعج
By Edna St. Vincent Millay
