Children are at the door. Shall i let them in? If i let them in, i can do no more work i love. If i bid them go, i then can work no more for thinking that i should have let them in and worked no more.

Duty is at the door. Shall i let him in? If i let him in, my life must change its course. If i bid him go, my life will change itself for thinking that i should have let him in and followed him.

Love is at the door. Shall i let her in? If i let her in, my heart's content may cease. If i bid her go, i may weep bitter tears for thinking that i should have let her in to wound me with an arrow from her sheath...
