OF the visages of thingsAnd of piercing through to the accepted hells beneath; 
Of uglinessTo me there is just as much in it as there is in beautyAnd now the
	ugliness of human beings is acceptable to me; 
Of detected personsTo me, detected persons are not, in any respect, worse than
    undetected
	personsand are not in any respect worse than I am myself; 
Of criminalsTo me, any judge, or any juror, is equally criminaland any
    reputable
	person is alsoand the President is also.
Of the Visage of Things.
