Variety. 
Countless the various species of mankind, 
Countless the shades which separate mind from mind; 
No general object of desire is known; 
Each has his will, and each pursues his own. 
pIFFORD. 
That each from other differs, first confess; 
Next that he varies from himself no less. 
..- JANUARY 25 .- 
Asphodel . Remembered beyond the tomb. 
Fade! flowers, fade ! Nature will have it so; 
’Tis what we must in our autumn do! 
And as your leaves lie quiet on the ground, , 
The loss alone by those that lov’d them found, 
So in the grave shall we as quiet lie, 
Miss’d by some few that loved our company. 
y/ALLER.
