    “I hid my love when young till I
    Couldn’t bear the buzzing of a fly;
    I hid my life to my despite
    Till I could not bear to look at light:
    I dare not gaze upon her face
    But left her memory in each place;
    Where’er I saw a wild flower lie
    I kissed and bade my love good-bye.”
    —John Clare (1793–1864)

    “A man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self—in the mirror of some woman’s eyes.”
