“ We are like the herb which flourisheth most when trampled upon ”
Oh, what a tangled web we weave...when first we practice to deceive.
~ Walter Scott
I pretend not to be a champion of that same naked virtue called truth, to the very outrance. I can consent that her charms be hidden with a veil, were it but for decency's sake.
My hope, my heaven, my trust must be,My gentle guide, in following thee.
Fight on, brave knights! Man dies, but glory lives! Fight on; death is better than defeat! Fight on brave knights! for bright eyes behold your deeds!
