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

I say for ornaments nothing outre can be 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

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.
