Quote

March is the month of expectation, The things we do not know, The Persons of Prognostication Are coming now. We try to sham becoming firmness, But pompous joy Betrays us, as his first betrothal Betrays a boy.

I've heard it in the chilliest land And on the strangest sea Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.

The Soul unto itself Is an imperial friend, - Or the most agonizing Spy - An Enemy - could send -
