Mr. Keats can't afford to marry.
-
His situation is really quite hopeless,
-
and if he is next door, how will you meet anyone else?
-
How will you go to dances?
-
But you are engaged?
-
It's his mother s ring. It's not an engagement ring.
-
You were not to wear it.
-
I wear it on the finger next door.
-
Do not even discuss it.
-
You taught me to love. You never said
-
only the rich, only a thimbleful.
-
Attachment is such a difficult thing to undo.
