“As if the spring were all your own,
What are you when the rose is blown?”

“Man, proud man,
Drest in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what hes most assurd,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven,
As make the angels weep.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
