Seat thyself sultanically among the moons of Saturn, and take high abstracted man alone, and he seems a wonder, a grandeur, and a woe. And when he shall die, take him and cut him out into little stars and he will make the face of heaven so fine, that all the world shall fall in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun. There is a wisdom that is woe, but there is a woe that is madness. By heaven, man, we are turned round and round in this world, like yonder windlass, and Fate is the handspike. The drama's done. Why then here does anyone step forth? Because one did survive the wreck. |
