“This is the creature there has never been.”

“If you are of the opinion that the contemplation of suicide is sufficient evidence of a poetic nature, do not forget that actions speak louder than words.”

“And this gray spirit yearning in desire”

“People with yuan fen are destined to like one another;”

“Don't you just love poetry that gives you a crinkly feeling up and down your back?”
