Line Verse

    Experience has taught me, when I am shaving of a morning, to keep watch over my thoughts, because, if a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Yet neither praise expect, nor censure fear:

    As fittest for discourse and nearest prose;
