“By choice they made themselves immune
To pity and whatever moans in man
Before the last sea and the hapless stars;
Whatever mourns when many leave these shores;
Whatever shares
The eternal reciprocity of tears.”

Shelley would tell me. Shelley wound be stunned:

The dullest Tommy hugs that fancy now.
‘Pushing up daisies’ is their creed, you know.”

“He sat in a wheeled chair, waiting for dark,
And shivered in his ghastly suit of grey,
Legless, sewn short at elbow.”
