“What do you want?” Endymion asked her. “Do you want to go?”
“Would you let me stay?” she countered.

And if it vanishes, until it’s found again, we’re…handicapped.”

“Let me love thee as thou hath rescued me.
Thy countenance does elevate passion in me
And I can no longer endure bereft of your touch.

And threaten my own body and spirit
With wild tempests and crashing swells
But the song of thy heart calls to me
And I must answer.”
