heart at war

eye and heart are at deadly war with each other over which one will have

control of your image.

My eye wants to bar my heart

from the sight of the picture it has of you

; my heart wants to deny my eye the right to

the image it has of you. My heart insists that the true

picture of you lies locked inside of him, never penetrated

by eyes, that can reveal it. But the defendant denies that charge

and claims that your beauty lies in him. To decide this case a jury of my

thoughts has been assembled, all of them holding allegiance to the heart.

And their verdict on which portion of your image belongs to the eye and

which to the heart is: my eye is awarded your outward part and my heart

has the right to the inward love of your heart.
