“Many a poor sore-eyed student that I have heard of would grow faster, both intellectually and physically, if, instead of sitting up so very late, he honestly slumbered a fool’s allowance.”

The body that could never be wounded,
The life that never would end, no matter
Who died, the being that was an abstraction.”
