Power, like a desolating pestilence, pollutes whatever it touches.
January gray is here, like a sexton by her grave; February bears the bier, march with grief doth howl and rave, and April weeps -- but, O ye hours! Follow with May's fairest flowers.
Duty and dereliction guide thee back to solitude.
Jealousy's eyes are green.
I Fall upon the thorns of life.
Kiss me, so long but as a kiss may last!
