There is a majesty in simplicity.
From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part, And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art.
Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurl'd, And now a bubble burst, and now a world.
Consult the Genius of the Place in all.
Strength of mind is exercise, not rest.
Atheists put on false courage and alacrity in the midst of their darkness and apprehensions, like children who, when they fear to go in the dark, will sing for fear.
