“Hear my soul speak:
The very instant that I saw you did
My heart fly to your service, there resides
to make me slave to it, and for your sake
Am I this patient log-man.”

“A Halloween flower,
if ever there was one,
would smell like an onion,
have thorns like a rose.
With charcoal black petals
and vines that entangle,
t'would grow under moonlight
in mud, I suppose.”

“Jagged needle, wicked lies
From under the skin, pluck evil eyes.
Destiny change from pain and cold
Now that you pay in blood and soul.”

“The fact is, my dear friend, love of the truth is higher and purer than any other. The truth, however poor and naked it may be, is more lovable and more holy than any sumptuous, dressed-up falsehood. And thus every time I’m able remove some flounce or frill from you, my heart leaps in my breast and a triumphal crown girds my head. Blessed be that philosophy that teaches us that though we be mortal, weak and unhappy, we can be great in equality, liberty and love!”
