Another query about a complex sentence.
But for the poems that describe without any reserve that dynamic vital force which draws a man and a woman close together and that impact of hot feeling upon hot feeling, search where we will, we shall search in vain.(original)
Query:
Is the original grammatically correct?
For the sake of making the original concise, I name the complex noun phrase as A , ie.
A = the poems that describe without any reserve that dynamic vital force which draws a man and a woman close together and that impact of hot feeling upon hot feeling. (I understand A very well)
so the original is such as:
But for A, search where we will, we shall search in vain.
= (I guess:) Without A, even if we search for A where we will search for A , we shall search in vain.
but I extremely doubt the correctness of my guess.

Hi guys
This is a letter from my customer
Why he used “we able to witness”?
(Correct is “we ARE able to witness”?
What’s the difference “We can witness ”
Luckily we woke at 5 am and we able to witness the beautiful sight, but after 9am (breakfast) it was covered by clouds and could be missed for duration of stay

He could get the perfect score.
Could it be used when he didn't get the perfect score?
-------------------------------------
If he was't late, he could get the perfect score. (In fact, he didn't get the perfect score.)
Is this sentence correct?
---------------------------------------------
Thanks in advance!!!
