Quote

      "She who hesitates is
      lost," she declared.  But
      what is there to
      lose?  Only innocence
5     in the small pale and
      not completely impartial turn
      and plod of her delicately
      dancing feet.  Only notice
      the impartial fervor
10    of that tilting lily-head
      against whose stone we (approximately
      may measure ourselves.
      Our faults lie open
      and are described in an
15    amazing minutiae by those
      thin dim cracks between
      the feathered petals.  They
      only serve to emphasize
      the fact with their apparently
20    indifferent oblivious blooming
