Not by blaming the world, not by shunning the world, but only be loving the world can I have peace of mind
The virtuous woman flees from danger; she trusts more to her prudence in shunning it than in her strength to overcome it.
Shunning the upstart shower, / The cold and cursory scrub, / I celebrate the power / That lies within the Tub.
And I wonder: Have I squandered my dogness? Have I forsaken my nature for my desires? Have I made a mistake by anticipating my future and shunning my present?
