What Is Friendship? Poem by Emanuel Pope

What is friendship? !
If not the fragile light
of a candle
born too
as all the nuances of the
of the world are born,
And if you won't stand
in the night
defending it with your hands
What will remain of it?

What is friendship? !
If not your uninterrupted dream
dreaming her dreams for her
even when she calls you
and even when she forgets you,
each time the waiting
flooding your soul
like a plain with a
mountain of water,
In the midst of a drought
so, you cannot satiate it.

What is friendship? !
If not your ultimate verse
in the mirror
When you look at yourself alone
and although you are swaying
from the air of the world
someone,
on their wings
holds you in the light.
