A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Within another ring. And was wondering if the man had done A great or little thing, When a voice behind me whispered low, That fellow 5got to swing. Dear Christ! the very prison wails Suddenly seemed to reel. And the sky above my head became Like a casque of scorching steel; A nd, though I was a soul in pain, My pain I could not feel. I only knew what hunted thought Quickened his step, and why He looked upon the garish day With such a wistful eye; The man had killed the thing he loved, And so he had to die. #Y et each man kills the thing he loves. By each let this be heard. Some do it with a bitter look. Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss.
