Sonet VII

Sonet read by Marianne to Elinor
in Sense&Sensibility.
Is love a fancy, or a feeling? No.
It is immortal as immaculate Truth, 
'Tis not a blossom shed as soon as youth, 
Drops from the stem of life--for it will grow, 
In barren regions, where no waters flow, 
Nor rays of promise cheats the pensive gloom. 
 - Hartley Coleridge
