He confessed the whole truth, and I be justified. But I have commited great crime by my resistance, and prior addressed to me public reprimand for touchy pride deep-seated in my chest...
G. SAND. SPIRIDION.
Between the cup and the lip there’s always a place for disaster...
AL. MUSSET.

Did I love You, you ask me, oh dear,
  Voice unknown –
So had Satan to love Lord God
  Before he was Satan!...

Did I love You, ask my nights
  Guardian angel –
Did I love You, ask in your power
  Clouds of my forehead!...

I pray with your love to mankind,
  I pray to God,
About her you ask once my eternity
  On threshold of hells!...

So far every lightning in soul got lost –
  As in widow's forest –
I will confess oneself only with lightning
  To my century!...
