The whole wide world

“I love her doubting and anguish;
I love the love she withholds,
I love my love that loveth her,
And anew her being moulds.”

“Not from the whole wide world I chose thee,
Sweetheart, light of the land and the sea!
The wide, wide world could not inclose thee,
For thou art the whole wide world to me.”

Richard Watson Gilder
