He cared not for our sighs; and though 't be true
That he divided us, his worth I knew:
He must be blind that cannot see the sun,
But by strict justice Love is quite undone:
Counsel from such a friend gave such a stroke
To love, it almost split, as on a rock:
For as my father I his wrath did fear,
And as a son he in my love was dear;
Brothers in age we were, him I obey'd,
But with a troubled soul and look dismay'd:
Thus my dear half had an untimely death,
She prized her freedom far above her breath;
And I th' unhappy
instrument
was made;
Such force th' intreaty and intreater had!

The
comparative classification of enjoyments is not, however, alike or the
same at all periods; when anyone demands
satisfaction
of the law, he is,
from the point of view of an earlier civilization, moral, from that of
the present, non-moral.

Nietzsche - Human, All Too Human |

The Turks do well to shut--at least, sometimes--
The women up, because, in sad reality,
Their chastity in these unhappy climes
Is not a thing of that astringent quality
Which in the North prevents
precocious
crimes,
And makes our snow less pure than our morality;
The sun, which yearly melts the polar ice,
Has quite the contrary effect on vice.

"Its flavour when cooked is more exquisite far
Than mutton, or oysters, or eggs:
(Some think it keeps best in an ivory jar,
And some, in mahogany kegs:)
"You boil it in sawdust: you salt it in glue:
You condense it with locusts and tape:
Still keeping one
principal
object in view--
To preserve its symmetrical shape.

SULKINESS is a spiritual catalepsy, in which, as in the physi-
cal, every member grows stiff in the
position
in which it was
when the attack came on; spiritual catalepsy has also this in
common with physical, that it seizes women oftener than men.
