I sometimes used to ask myself, what on earth did i love her for? maybe fore the warm hazel iris of her fluffy eyes, or for the natural side-wave of her brown hair, done anyhow, or again for that movement of her plump shoulders. but, probably the truth was that i loved her because she loved me. to her i was the ideal man: brains, pluck. and there was none dressed better. i remember once, when i first put on that new dinner jacket, with the vast trousers, she clapsed her hands, sank down on a chair and murmured: 'oh, hermann...." it was ravishment bordering upon something like heavenly woe.

Woe to him whom this world charms from gospel duty. woe to him who seeks to pour oil upon the waters when god has brewed them into a gale. woe to him who seeks to please rather than to appal. woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness. woe to him who, in this world, courts not dishonor! woe to him who would not be true, even though to be false were salvation. yea, woe to him who, as the great pilot paul has it, while preaching to others is himself a castaway.

Most eyes have more than one color, but usually they're related. blue eyes may have two shades of blue, or blue and gray, or blue and green, or even a fleck or two of brown. most people don't notice that. when i first went to get my state id card, the form asked for eye color. i tried to write in all the colors in my own eyes, but the space wasnt big enough. they told me to put 'brown'. i put 'brown', but that is not the only color in my eyes. it is just the color that people see because they do not really look atr other people's eyes.

Atheism is so senseless & odious to mankind that it never had many professors. can it be by accident that all birds beasts & men have their right side & left side alike shaped (except in their bowels) & just two eyes & no more on either side the face & just two ears on either side the head & a nose with two holes & no more between the eyes & one mouth under the nose & either two fore legs or two wings or two arms on the shoulders & two legs on the hips one on either side & no more?
