I SAY the human shape or face is so great, it must never be made ridiculous ;

I say for ornaments nothing outre can l)e allowed, And that anything is most beautiful without ornament,

And that exaggerations will be sternly revenged in your own physiology, and in other persons' physiology also ;

And I say that clean-shaped children can be jetted and conceived only where natural forms prevail in public, and the human face and form are never caricatured ;

And I say that genius need never more be turned to romances,

(For facts properly told, how mean appear all romances.)

I SAY the word of lands fearing nothing — I will have no other land ;

I say discuss all and expose all — I am for every topic openly ;

I say there can be no salvation for These States without innovators — without free tongues, and ears willing to hear the tongues ;

And I announce as a glory of These States, that they respectfully listen to propositions, reforms, fresh views and doctrines, from successions of men and women.

Each age with its own growth.
