‘…The moment you forget yourself enough to admit another’s humanity, see him as a person and not a symbol—then perhaps—’
‘What is humanity.’
‘You ask the obvious, ha, ha. Humanity is something to destroy.’

“All things worth praise
That unto Khadeeth’s mart have
From far been brought through perils over-passed,
All santal, myrrh, and spikenard that disarms
The pard’s swift anger; these would weigh but light
‘Gainst thy delights, my Khadeeth! Whence protected
By naught save her great grace that in him showeth,
My song goes forth and on her mercy calleth.”
Ezra Pound | “Canzon: Of Incense”
