    Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an acre of barren
    ground--long heath, brown furze, anything. The wills above be
    done, but I would fain die a dry death.

And pious action, we do sugar o'er
The devil himself.

He told me once
The saddest thing that can befall the soul,
Is when it loses faith read more

He told me once
The saddest thing that can befall the soul,
Is when it loses faith in God and woman,
For he had lost them both. Lost I those gems,
Though the world's throne stood open in my path,
I would go wandering back into my childhood,
Searching for them with tears.
