The Enchanted Cup excerpt

[mayday_parker]

"If he could return to a time before he had taken this scalding wretchedness of love - if he could! But if he might be free again, and whole, as he was before he saw Isoud springing along the grass on naked feet, would he be free? He knew he would not. If he never saw her again in this life he would die thanking God he had seen her then, and that he had loved her, and would love her while warmth was in his body."
