    For it can never be as if the stagnant waters of everyday life could flow into another's iris! Existence hanging on yew-flowers can scarcely resist insidious, trap-setting mischief! Every step we take is a planned but clumsy crash! You'd settle down as a strange puppet on earth, if you could survive what may be waiting for you alone! The rainbow is spreading on the trap-screen of our fears, and it is impossible to know exactly how far the limit and the end point of our human survival can extend!

    -Fearful, lustful envy marches in the pores of our nettle-skins! The vile dross of passions is still spasmodically yours, but you feel it yourself: the heart-voices are clustered in troubled murmurs! Every useless handshake-yes, as if shaken with shame, that thou canst not be almost thyself! - Thus, from the despotism of bloodthirsty tyrannies, Thou art forced to submit! All your pathetic attempts are aimless, abject blunders! One day, like Lazarus, you will be eager to see the rocks of your obstacles shattered before your towers, and the unhappy, but wounded-hearted, who ought to be comforted, will be seen not as guilty!
