Page 208 - Nor gaze upon the spot; There flowers or weeds at will may grow, So I behold them not: It is enough for me to prove That what I loved, and long must love, Like common earth can rot; To me there needs no stone to tell, 'Tis nothing that I loved so well.
Page ix - Rip your brothers' vices open, strip your own foul passions bare; Down with Reticence, down with Reverence— forward— naked— let them stare.
