    For, now he has crack'd the league
    Between us and the Emperor, the Queen's great nephew,
    He dives into the King's soul and there scatters
    Dangers, doubts, wringing of the conscience,
    Fears, and despairs-and all these for his marriage;
    And out of all these to restore the King,

    That like a jewel has hung twenty years
    About his neck, yet never lost her lustre;
    Of her that loves him with that excellence
    That angels love good men with; even of her
    That, when the greatest stroke of fortune falls,
    Will bless the King-and is not this course pious?

    Talk about slavery It is not the peculiar institution of the South. It exists wherever men are bought and sold, wherever a man allows himself to be made a mere thing or a tool, and surrenders his inalienable rights of reason and conscience. Indeed, this slavery is more complete than that which enslaves the body alone... I never yet met with, or heard of, a judge who was not a slave of this kind, and so the finest and most unfailing weapon of injustice. He fetches a slightly higher price than the black men only because he is a more valuable slave.

    Our true history is scarcely ever deciphered by others. The chief part of the drama is a monologue, or rather an intimate debate between God, our conscience, and ourselves.

This is why the Print left in the Mirror of Knowledge that is reflected determining the world of Knowledge cannot be creation, but an attribute of it, which is Love.This happens precisely because the entire world exists through us and in reference to us, humans, pieces of divinity. And the, if everything we have within us is nothing more than love, and our world is the image of Love that receives Destiny , then what a Print becoming an attribute of Creation can be, if not Love Of course, it cannot be anything else. Despite all that, why does the love within us for a person we have fallen in love with, for instance, disappears after a month, a year, a certain period of time Why this love does not last forever, except for books or novels with a smell of roses and eternity

    These are not simple issues. These are the kinds of events that shock the conscience of humankind, but so far we have proven that we are not willing or capable of stopping them.
