    To wage by force or guile eternal Warr
    Irreconcileable, to our grand Foe,”

    “Illustrious examples engross, prejudice, and intimidate. They engross our attention, and so prevent a due inspection of ourselves; they prejudice our judgment in favour of their abilities, and so lessen the sense of our own; and they intimidate us with the splendour of their renown, and thus under diffidence bury our strength.”
    —Edward Young (1683–1765)
