|  Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar. | | I have drunken deep of joy, And I will taste no other wine tonight. | | In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred; it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect. | | Fear not for the future, weep not for the past. | | Government is an evil; it is only the thoughtlessness and vices of men that make it a necessary evil. When all men are good and wise, government will of itself decay. | | Concerning God, freewill and destiny: Of all that earth has been or yet may be, all that vain men imagine or believe, or hope can paint or suffering may achieve, we descanted. |
