    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “Not thou nor thy religion dost controule,
    The amorousnesse of an harmonious Soule,
    But thou would’st have that love thy selfe: As thou
    Art jealous, Lord, so I am jealous now,
    Thou lov’st not, till from loving more, thou free
    My soule: Who ever gives, takes libertie:
    O, if thou car’st not whom I love
    Alas, thou lov’st not mee.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “There is not a greater paradox in nature,—than that so good a religion [as Christianity] should be no better recommended by its professors.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
