If Though Hadst Said 'Love' I Would / IHave Given Thee That Thou Didst / Ask For; And I Would Have Gone From / Thee, And Returned To Thee No More - / Now, The Day Will Come When I / Shall Return. In The Day That I Shall / Bear Both Gifts In One Hand-' / I Heard The Woman Laugh In / Her Sleep - / Olive Schreiner".
