The Ferule Employed

Remorse is cureless, -- the disease
Not even God can heal;
For 't is his institution, --
The complement of hell.


Emily Dickinson
Remorse

Rage is a monkey with a bright red Heart. It shakes its cage of bone and strains to catch what erring wind might carry: it does not matter should it be Truth or should random sound, random noise, bring a recognizance only found in its imaginings. For a drowning man clutches best-- should it be Fortune's log or tragic arm... always remember, a drowning man clutches best (for a drowned man clutches less!).

Cradle this warm heart of brightly spun crimson-- O Rage is a monkey with a bright red Heart.
