The great writers, one piece at a time.
— ✻ —
Remorse is memory awake, Her companies astir, -- A presence of departed acts At window and at door.
It's past set down before the soul, And lighted with a match, Perusal to facilitate Of its condensed despatch.
Remorse is cureless, -- the disease Not even God can heal; For 't is his institution, -- The complement of hell.
