A Poem in Nine Books (Classic Reprint), Excerpt from Aurora Leigh: A Poem in Nine Books Aurora Leigh. First Book. Of writing many books there is no end; And I, who have written much in prose and verse For others´ uses, will write now for mine, - Will write my story for my better self, As when you paint your portrait for a friend, Who keeps it in a drawer, and looks at it Long after he has ceased to love you, just To hold together what he was and is. I, writing thus, am still what men call young I have not so far left the coasts of life To travel inland, that I cannot hear That murmur of the outer Infinite Which unweaned babies smile at in their sleep When wondered at for smiling; not so far, But still I catch my mother at her post Beside the nursery-door, with finger up, ´´Hush, hush, here´s too much noise!´´ while her sweet eyes Leap forward, taking part against her word In the child´s riot. Still I sit, and feel My father´s slow hand, when she has left us both, Stroke out my childish curls across his knee, And hear Assunta´s daily jest (she knew He liked it better than a better jest) Inquire how many golden scudi went To make such ringlets. O my father´s hand, Stroke heavily, heavily, the poor hair down, Draw, press the child´s head closer to thy knee! I´m still too young, too young, to sit alone.
