And Education's more than Nature's fools;

So strong the opposing faction still appears,
The hopes to thrive can ne'er outweigh the fears.”

She kissed him long and soft, and when she pulled herself away, she touched his mouth with her fingers...She did not say goodbye. She was incapable, and after a few more minutes at his side, she was able to tear herself from the ground. It amazes me what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on...”
