There's not enough for this and that, Make thy option which of two; Economize the failing river, Not the less revere the Giver, Leave the many and hold the few, Timely wise accept the terms, Soften the fall with wary foot; A little while Still plan and smile, And,-fault of novel germs,- Mature the Unfallen fruit.
"The Complete PG Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr."
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (The Physician and Poet not the Jurist)
But over and above all other things, it was the effect of the Unfallen in him, of the highest keeping itself above assault, of his first youth never yet brushed away as a bloom, that constituted to her his distinction among the men that she had known.
"The-Choir-Invisible"
Allen, James Lane
You wil1 find all these in this book: here are men who were men; here are men who were gentlemen; and here are gentlemen who served the Unfallen life of the spirit.
