then let thy heart<br>From its present pathway part not!<br>Being everything which now thou art,<br>Be nothing which thou art not.<br>So with the world thy gentle ways,<br>Thy grace, thy more than beauty,<br>Shall be an endless theme of praise,<br>And love — a simple duty. <br class="br">" To Frances S.

If I have erred at all, in this regard, it has been on the side of what the world would call a Quixotic sense of the honorable — of the chivalrous. <br class="br">" Letter to Mrs. Whitman http://www.lfchosting.com/eapoe/WORKS/letters/p4810181.htm" (1848-10-18).
