The Heart Grows Weary After A Little

Youth, Have No Pity; Leave No Farthing Here For Age To Invest In Compromise And Fear.

The World Stands Out On Either Side, No Wider Than The Heart Is Wide.

Let Us Not Forget Such Words, And All They Mean, As Hatred, Bitterness, And Rancor Greed, Intolerance, Bigotry; Let Us Renew Our Faith And Pledge To Man, His Right To Be Himself And Free.

Curse Thee, Life, I Will Live With Thee No More! Thou Hast Mocked Me, Starved Me, Beat My Body Sore! And All For A Pledge That Was Not Pledged By Me, I Have Kissed Thy Crust And Eaten Sparingly That I Might Eat Again, And Met Thy Sneers With Deprecations, And Thy Blows With Tears.

The Longest Absence Is Less Perilous To Love Than The Terrible Trials Of Incessant Proximity.
