Girdle significant the sign of death.
Louisa Fear-God:
A man who feels the worth of his own soul
Can but rely upon his own ideas,
If he desire to know the spirit-worlds
And find himself therein in very truth.
Whoe’er can give himself, with blindfold faith,
To outside guidance, first must lose himself.
Aye, e’en that light, which deep within himself
A man may feel as highest wisdom’s power
