stagelove（300字）
When the game began between them for a jest， He played king and she played queen to match the best； Laughter soft as tears ，and tears that turned to laugher ， These were things she sought for years and sorrowed after.
Pleasure with dry lips ，and pain that walks by night ； All the sting and all the stain of long delight ； These were things he knew not of ，that knew not of her ， When she played at half a love with half a love .
Time was chorus ， gave them cues to laugh or cry ； They would kill ，befool ，amuse him ， let him die Set him webs to weave to-day and break to-morrow Till he died for good in play ，and rose ill sorrow.
What the years mean ； how time dies and is not slain ； How love grows and laughs and cries and wanes again ； These were things she came to know ， and take their measure ， When the play was played out so for one man’s pleasure .
