Seite 306 - MY HEART. THOU sent'st to me a heart was sound, I took it to be thine ; But when I saw it had a wound, I knew that heart was mine.
Seite 97 - I can do in verse; you know my uttermost when it was best, and even then I did best when I had least truth for my subjects. In this present case there is so much truth as it defeats all poetry.
