Chapter 17 "Build a Wall"
"Build a Wall"
You and I must not profane that word,
Don't forget the oath you swore before God.
I not only want your softest tenderness,
wraps my heart forever like a banana wrapper;
I want your love to be as strong as pure steel,
Build a wall in this flowing life;
Let the autumn wind blow away all the yellow leaves in the garden,
Let the termites eat away at the thousand-year-old painting wall;
Even if one day a thunderbolt shakes the universe,—
It can't shake the freedom in the "wall of love" between you and me!
