Summary:
Otto reads poetry to Norman.
There were a pair of brandy glasses half full on the end table, and Otto sat comfortably in the plush, high backed green leather chair beside it. He had coaxed Norman to sit on his lap.
Otto sat with his arms scooped around Norman’s slender frame, book in hands, reading glasses low on his nose. Norman’s head rested gently in the soft space between Otto’s neck, and shoulder.
Otto kissed Norman’s temple, and turned the page, giving him a sly smile as he started in on another poem. He suspected that Norman wasn’t paying much attention, but he didn’t mind.
Notes:
Love’s Philosophy
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?—See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?–By Percy Bysshe Shelley (1819)
