The darkest pit of lowest Erebus,
Nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out
By help of dreams can breed such fear and awe
As fall upon us often when we look
Into our Minds, into the Mind of Man.”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
“Not only the bull attacks his enemies with curved horn, but also the sheep, when harmed fights back.”
