Criterion Poem by Hilaire Belloc

Criterion

Rating: 3.0


When you are mixed with many I descry
A single light, and judge the rest thereby.
But when you are alone with me, why then,
I quite forget all women and all men.

What an epigrammatic poem! His companion is so bright as light, he certainly cannot remember all men and women!
