My love is exceptional or rare. It is for a remote being, an object high beyond my reach, and it is the paradoxical product of the equally sterile despair and impossibility. My despair is the result of my dis-pairing or of realizing how alone I am and how nonpareil is my beloved, an isolated thing apart, who has in effect flown where I cannot follow, because I am — without her — but a single wing. I might arrive there, where she has been fixt like a star, and where my soul already is, if it weren't for Fate, which must drive itself betwixt us.
