Title: What friendship wants.

Poet: Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821-1881)

Recueil: Il penseroso (1858).


Friend, I hear well your maxims,
Your opinions, your advice, your wishes,
And, in our intimate conversations,
I even heard your confessions ;
And for all that my heart loves you
But all that is not yourself,
And it is you yourself that I want.
Henri-Frédéric Amiel.
