Forget the world around you. Meantime friendship / Shall keep strict vigils for you, anxious, active, / Only be manageable when that friendship / Points you the road to full accomplishment. / "Coleridge".
"I don't care a rush what you do to me. If you are so besotted by your prejudices that you refuse to see the nose before your face; if you don't believe your own officer who swore he saw Ranelagh's hands upon my sister's throat, then this world is all a jumble and it makes very little difference to me whether I'm alive or dead."
