His facts are lies: his letters are the fact—

An infiltration flavored with himself!

As for the fancies—whether ... what is it you say?

The lady loves me, whether I love her

In the forbidden sense of your surmise,—

You needs must pry about and trace the birth

Of each stray beam of light may traverse night,

To the night's sun that 's Lucifer himself,
