He drew a circle that shut me out —
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in.
- Edwin Markham
This poem brings an interesting thought to me: ol' girl's vindictive. He doesn't want you, putting up a wall - or maybe he dug a mote; it's a type of circle drawn into the dirt with shovels, water, and maybe gators and such.
Obviously, this is upsetting, making her job a bit harder. 'Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout'. I can't blame the man; she seems to have fits when she doesn't get her way. I'd build a moat to keep her away too. And if he's such a controversial, disdainful guy, why are you trying to get him, girl? Find a dude you don't have to trap in your bigger moat, in an attempt to starve him out as the rations in his castle are slowly windled down until he's forced to either starve or come out and be caught by your womanly wiles. Then you'll both be miserable for the next twenty years before having two and a half kids and ending the whole thing in an ugly divorce, all because you hooked up with 'Love' and got all sneaky on the man.
