A
Reading Passage from 'Porphyria's Lover'
The rain set early in to-night,
The sullen wind was soon awake,
It tore the elm-tops down for spite,
And did its worst to vex the lake:
I listened with heart fit to break.
When glided in Porphyria; she
Was my love and my pride;
And she was my life;
And my spirit;
And my soul;
And I knew that she
Would be mine forever.
Some moments later, her voice, soft and trembling, interrupted my thoughts, as she whispered, 'Porphyria, make my life easy.'
She brought in a fire and set it blazing, her face glowing with fervor, her eyes bright with love.
She sat beside me, her head upon my shoulder, and in that moment, I felt my heart swell with a mixture of love and madness.
As she leaned close, I drew her into my world, and in a sudden frenzy, I took her life, ensuring she would never leave me.
I kept her warm and still, her spirit forever bound to my will.
This is the tragic climax of my love story, a moment sealed in eternal silence.
