MERMAIDS




A Man Young And Old: III. The Mermaid

A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.

William Butler Yeats



I'm thinking it's probably nicer to drown then keep drowning all the things you love by accident.
