“If strange men come from the house
To lead her away do not say
That she is happy being crazy;
Lead gently astray;
Let her finish her dance,
Let her finish her dance.”

“The coward wants resolution, which the brave man can do without. He recognizes no faith above a creed, thinking this straw by which he is moored does him good service, because his sheet anchor does not drag.”
