Zitat des Tages von Algernon Charles Swinburne:

Hope thou not much, and fear thou not at all.

Time turns the old days to derision, Our loves into corpses or wives; And marriage and death and division Make barren our lives.

Hope thou not much, and fear thou not at all.

To say of shame - what is it? Of virtue - we can miss it; Of sin-we can kiss it, And it's no longer sin.

Algernon Charles Swinburne

Glory to Man in the highest! For Man is the master of things.

While three men hold together, the kingdoms are less by three.
