“Desponding Phyllis was endud
With evry Talent of a Prude,
She trembled when a Man drew near;
Salute her, and she turnd her Ear:
If oer against her you were placd
She durst not look above your Waist;”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;and you have Pericles and Phidias,and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
