Sayfa 340 / 1116

But she signed to me with her eyebrows, "Have I failed thee in

aught of love; and is it thus that thou requitest me?" I

understood what her looks implied and answered her with an

eye-glance, "I will sacrifice my soul for thee." And the tongue

of the case wrote in our hearts these lines:-

How many a lover with his eyebrows speaketh * To his beloved, as

his passion pleadeth: With flashing eyne his passion he inspireth

* And well she seeth what kits pleading needeth. How sweet the

look when each on other gazeth; * And with what swiftness and how

sure it speedeth: And this with eyebrows all his passion writeth;

* And that with eyeballs all his passion readeth.
