To one or two?\nCan I look at this face without a twinge of shame?\n\nFace in the mirror, remember your pledge?\nRomantic temper allied to a classic edge;\nTo chisel out the crystal line,\nAnd make it strong, not to refine;\nTo clip but not to maim the living hedge.\n\nFace in the mirror, a Journey still to go,\nTowards the final winter snow,\nI shall go with you where you will,\nIf only courage pay the mounting bill.\nFace in the mirror answer yes or no\n\nTo the pull of your history. Atone,\nThen go your chosen way alone.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
