All that you touch, And all you create,
All that you see And all you destroy,
All that you taste, All that you do,
All you feel, And all you say,
And all that you love, All that you eat,
And all that you hate, And everyone you meet,
All you distrust, All that you slight,
All you save, And everyone you fight,
And all that you give, And all that is now,
And all that you deal, And all that is gone,
All that you buy, And all that's to come,
Beg, borrow or steal, And everything under the sun is
in tune,
But the sun is eclipsed
By the moon....
All ceremonies are, in themselves, very silly thing but yet a man
of the world should know them. They are the outworks of manners and
decency, which would be too often broken in upon, if it were not
for that defense, which keeps the enemy at a proper distance....
