THE VIRGIN 77 we include here ; for such a one at any rate is not a true prostitute , rather a poor deluded girl , yearning to love and be loved , romantic and foolish , yet kind hearted and charitable to a fault : often the plaything of man , and oftener the means of livelihood of some bad woman . As Jenny wrapped in “ the homage of the dim boudoir , ” was Nina ; one of that large flotsam of fragile girlhood which forms the better drift of vice , the first to be swallowed in the social Maelstrom .

LOVE-SONGS 63 Closer and closer through the dusk of sense Avails the monotone omnipotence. Steady, in one crescent tune, Rises the virgin moon 3 And from the depth of eyes flooded with love Shines ecstasy thereof. Words pass and are not heard.
