Truth never was indebted to a lie
Wouldst thou be famed? have those high acts in view, Brave men would act though scandal would ensue.
As night to stars, woe lustre gives to man.
However smothered under former negligence, or scattered through the dull, dark mass of common thoughts - let thy genius rise as the sun from chaos.
The spirit walks of every day deceased.
We wish our names eternally to live; Wild dream! which ne'er had haunted human thought, Had not our natures been eternal too.
