Quotes I weep those dead lips, white and dry, On which no kisses lie, Those eyes deserted of desire, And love’s soft fire. I weep the folded feet and hands, Held fast in linen bands; Still heart, cold breasts—for them my dole: God hath the soul. "A Little Song"; M'lle New York, vol. 2, no. 1 (November 1898), n.p. Variants: 'has' for 'hath' (1915) Nature never says anything to a child. To read its message one must look at it with eyes already old. The Ego Book (1914), ch. 2 External links E. C. Stedman (ed.)
