“But who to love can give a law?/ Love unto love itself is law”

Book is done; some semblance of a review to come, because this thing is way denser than its short length would suggest (I say this affectionately)

“Over and above all this, another weight is added to my load of ills, and that the world does not judge actions on their merit, but on their chance results, and they consider that only those things which are blessed with a happy outcome have been undertaken with sound advice. It is always the unfortunate our first to be deserted by the goodwill of men.”
