“I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy,
The sleepless soul that perished in his pride;
Of him who walked in glory and in joy
Following his plough, along the mountain side:
By our own spirits are we deified:
We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“The power men possess to annoy me I give them by a weak curiosity. No man can come near me but through my act.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
