Question

LIX.For my happiness cannot be yours;In humble ecstasy I could liveIn a hill-town, among roses,With robins feasting at my table,While woods and fields, valleys and streamsAround would be my promised land.LX.You might not like such simple fare,For you the winds may blow too mild—I cannot tread your well-paved roadsThough verdant they may seem to you.Each path leads to some point of view,What you like best, is best for you.
