If my virtue be a dancer's virtue, and if I have often sprung with both feet into golden emerald rapture: If my wickedness be a laughing wickedness, at home among rose banks and hedges of lilies: For in laughter is all evil present, but it is sanctified and absolved by its own bliss: And if it be my Alpha and Omega that everything heavy shall become light, every body a dancer, and every spirit a bird: and verily, that is my Alpha and Omega!
