For my old friend SJG

I know you're a fan of 116... but 144 better describes the way I'm feeling right now about the possibility of me coming back to EBW, and my own personal obsession with the duality of life.  I'm at a crossroads, and I'm asking for your advice, and perhaps to a greater extent, your approval.  Should I return to this place?  In all honesty, is it worth it?  Did you miss me?  The place I rejected and vowed never to return?  Should I follow my instincts and forgo my commitment of abstinence from this place?  I hate to God to say it, but EBW may be my dark angel.  I miss being here.

 

Two loves I have of comfort and dispair,

Which like two spirits do suggest me still:

The better angel is a man right fair,

The worser spirit a woman colour'd ill.

To win me soon to hell, my female evil

Tempteth my better angel from my side,

And would corrupt my saint to be a devil,

Wooing his purity with her foul pride.

And whether that my angel be turn'd fiend

Suspect I may, but not directly tell;

But being both from me, both to each friend,

I guess one angel in another's hell:

    Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in doubt,

     Till my bad angel fire my good one out.
