  To have his pomp and all what state compounds
  But only painted, like his varnished friends?

• Every song falls short of the glory of what a song could be. That's why the urge is there to start again and yet again. Often it's the fault of rhyme. I've discovered a hundred times that there just aren't enough rhymes to say what I wanted to say, so I said something else instead. Sometimes it was a better thing, but the thing I meant to say went unsaid. So there's an opening for another song.

• For wisdom is the property of the dead,
  A something incompatible with life; and power,
  Like everything that has the stain of blood,
  A property of the living; but no stain
  Can come upon the visage of the moon
  When it has looked in glory from a cloud.

• Vanity is so anchored in the heart of man that a soldier, a soldier's servant, a cook, a porter brags and wishes to have his admirers. Even philosophers wish for them. Those who write against vanity want to have the glory of having written well; and those who read it desire the glory of having read it. I who write this have perhaps this desire, and perhaps those who will read it.
