I'll Have Your Heart

I'll have your heart. If not by gift, my knife.
Shall carve it out. I'll have your heart, your life.

Stevie Smith

perhaps a typo? "...by knife"?

[melodily]

think it's meant to lead on to the next line and correspond with your life :D

If I have to...magic spell you.

let's hear it for Stevie

[madmouth]

love it!

here's an excerpt as a corollary:

The nearly right
And yet not quite
In love is wholly evil
And every heart
That loves in part
Is mortgaged to the devil

-Stevie Smith "To the Tune of the Coventry Carol "

That's very good.
