“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 46 Love is in everybody, Not everybody is in love. Power is in everybody, Not everybody can power-up. Everybody loves beautiful clothes, Few care for heart's beauty. Everybody is obsessed with liberty, Few can bear the responsibility. Everybody lives amidst the collective, Only few practice collectivism. Everybody talks about the world, Not everybody has the world in them. Poor is not the one whose pocket is empty, But the one whose heart lacks comity.”

Yet still I find that I must trumpet the cause of reason, reason, human reason, above all else - if only because it was no brief time ago that I found myself bereft of its beneficence, reduced to a naked, howling, gibbering thing upon which I shudder to reflect.”
