Why, what is to live? Not to eat and drink and breathe,โbut to feel the life in you down all the fibres of being, passionately and joyfully.
Elizabeth Barrett BrowningMen of science, osteologists And surgeons, beat some poets, in respect For nature,-count nought common or unclean, Spend raptures upon perfect specimens Of indurated veins, distorted joints, Or beautiful new cases of curved spine; While we, we are shocked at nature's falling off, We dare to shrink back from her warts and blains.
