“O, what a fall was there, my countrymen!
Then I, and you, and all of us fell down,
Whilst bloody treason flourished over us.”

By that sin fell the angels; how can man then,
The image of his maker, hope to win by it?”

the husband’s back
when he fell at her feet,
the housewife,
though burnt by certain anger,
began to laugh.”
