" "

From my youth upwards
My spirit walk'd not with the souls of men,
Nor look'd upon the earth with human eyes;
The thirst of their ambition was not mine,
The aim of their existence was not mine;
My joys, my griefs, my passions, and my powers
Made me a stranger.

The English winter - ending in July to recommence in August

If I am a fool, it is, at least, a doubting one; and I envy no one the certainty of his self-approved wisdom.
