“A new disease? I know not, new or old,
But it may well be called poor mortals’ plague:
For, like a pestilence, it doth infect
The houses of the brain ...
Till not a thought, or motion, in the mind,
Be free from the black poison of suspect.”
—Ben Jonson (c. 1572–1637)
“And now you try
Your handful of notes;
The clear vowels rise like balloons.”

“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
