Wifely Steps

This poem immediately reminded me of Edward Cullen from the Twilight series.

Acquainted With The Night

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain – and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-by;
And further still at an unearthly height
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.

– Robert Frost (1874-1963)

This poem looks like something from Edward’s thoughts before Bella came into his life.

Thanks to Amy for leading me to this lovely poem.
