"Velly nicee," said Ching, smiling.
No wild voices in the wind reproach the wilder pulses of a slow-breaking heart; no keen words of taunt sting thee into madness; Memory hurls at thee no flying javelins; broken-winged Hope flutters about thee no more! Thy day is over, thine hour is past! "Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead, more than the living which are yet alive!" Dies Irae: in Thirteen Original Versions.
