Tis Man's to explore up and down, inch by inch, with the taper his reason.
Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain

White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so; life's business being just the terrible choice.
Ambition is not what man does... but what man would do.
Would you have your songs endure? Build on the human heart.
