Where got I that truth? Out of a medium's mouth, Out of nothing it came, Out of the forest loam, Out of dark night where lay The crowns of Nineveh

I am still of opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood - sex and the dead

The light of lights looks always on the motive, not the deed, the shadow of shadows on the deed alone.

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last slouches toward Bethlehem to be born

The broken wall, the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead.

In walking naked.

I would be -- for no knowledge is worth a straw --
Ignorant and wanton as the dawn.
