“Accursed who brings to light of day
The writings I have cast away.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I count him a great man who inhabits a higher sphere of thought, into which other men rise with labor and difficulty; he has but to open his eyes to see things in a true light, and in large relations; whilst they must make painful corrections, and keep a vigilant eye on many sources of error.”
