No matter how random this is, but this song to me, will be forever bound to Marrissey
Joseph Merrick (Hero):
A BEAUTIFUL SOUL. –Kassandra
“He spent his time writing prose, poetry and creating an intricate church built out of playing cards. An avid letter writer, Merrick often ended his letters with a poem, "False Greatness” by Isaac Watts:
‘Tis true my form is something odd, But blaming me is blaming God; Could I create myself anew I would not fail in pleasing you. If I could reach from pole to pole Or grasp the ocean with a span, I would be measured by the soul; The mind’s the standard of the man.“
