"The last temptation is the greatest treason:
To do the right deed for the wrong reason."

Under the brown fog of a winter dawn.
A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,
I had not thought death had undone so many."

Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?"

Cannot bear very much reality."
