“I never cut my neighbor's throat;My neighbor's gold I never stole;I never spoiled his house and land;But God have mercy on my soul!For I am haunted night and dayBy all the deeds I have not done;O unattempted loveliness!O costly valor never won!”

Marguerite Wilkinson

Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.”
