Perhaps no person can be a poet, or can even enjoy poetry, without a certain unsoundness of mind

It is supposed that there has been progress in the science of textual criticism, and the most frivolous pretender has learned to talk superciliously about “the old unscientific days”.

A woman who knew her own mind and scorned the conventions of polite society. We were going to get along just fine.
