TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 2. NOT OF MYSELF by EDWARD CARPENTER

First Line: NOT OF MYSELF - I HAVE NO POWER OVER MYSELF
Last Line: THOSE WHO DO NOT READ THEM.
Subject(s): LANGUAGE; WRITING & WRITERS; WORDS; VOCABULARY;
@3Not of myself—I have no power of myself—
But out of you who read do I write these words;
And whether you understand them or not is nothing to me: I sort rather with
those who do not read them@1.
