Title: i do not...


I do not write of love: I am no lover.I do not write of beauty: I have no woman.I do not write of gentleness but the humanrudeness I see. And my pleasures are all over, so I do not try to write of pleasure, but onlymisery. Favors? No, I am on my own.I do not write of riches: I have none.Or of life at court, when I'm far from it and lonely.I do not write of health, for I'm often ill. I cannot write of France from a hang tuah road.Or honor? I see so little of that about.I cannot write of friendship but only pretence.I will not write of virtue, here in its absence.Or knowledge or faith, in ignorance and doubt. i don know..
