"Yes and no aren't so far apart lovely and ugly aren't so unalike what others fear we too must fear before the moon wanes everyone is gay as if they were at the Great Sacrifice or climbing a tower in spring I sit here and make no sign like a child that doesn't smile lost with no one to turn to while others enjoy more I alone seem forgotten my mind is so foolish so simple others look bright I alone seem dim others are certain I alone am confused receding like the ocean waxing without cease everyone has a goal I alone am dumb and backward for I alone choose to differ preferring still my mother's breast"
