Ranting Muses
Felix Dennis
We grow impatient waiting on your pleasure,
Why then affect surprise when we have flown?
A muse is not some slut to take at leisure:
You either come when called - or sleep alone.
Of Mercy and Kindness
Felix Dennis
Formal mercy clothes itself in duty,
Obnoxious to the ear and to the heart,
While kindness is itself a form of beauty,
And all its artists masters of their art.
