Seite 208 - Nor gaze upon the spot; There flowers or weeds at will may grow, So I behold them not: It is enough for me to prove That what I loved, and long must love, Like common earth can rot; To me there needs no stone to tell, 'Tis nothing that I loved so well.
Seite ix - Rip your brothers' vices open, strip your own foul passions bare; Down with Reticence, down with Reverence— forward— naked— let them stare.

Set the maiden fancies wallowing in the troughs of Zolaism,— Forward, forward, ay and backward, downward too into the abysm.
