it has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. and while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

Пройдет любовь как дым



A Divine Image By William Blake

Cruelty has a human heart,

And Jealousy a human face;

Terror the human form divine,

And Secresy the human dress.


The human dress is forged iron,


The human form a fiery forge,

The human face a furnace sealed,

The human heart its hungry gorge.
