Verschwiegene Intimitäten #3
I felt there was just one thing Guido claimed
I had no right to give nor he to take;
We being in estrangement, soul from soul:
Till, when I sought help, the Archbishop smiled,
Inquiring into privacies of life,
-- Said I was blameable -- (he stands for God)
Nowise entitled to exemption there.
Then I obeyed, -- as surely had obeyed
Were the injunction "Since your husband bids,
Swallow the burning coal he proffers you!"
Robert Browning. The Ring And The Book (1868-9). Book VII; vv.721ff.
Allerdings muß man Pompilia in Schutz nehmen, war sie doch erst 12, als sie mit Guido Franceschini verheiratet wurde.
