Excessive Sorrow Laughs. Excessive Joy Weeps.

As A Man Is, So He Sees. As The Eye Is Formed, Such Are Its Powers.

Oh! Why Was I Born With A Different Face? Why Was I Not Born Like The Rest Of My Race? When I Look,each One Starts! When I Speak, I Offend; Then Im Silent & Passive & Lose Every Friend. Then My Verse I Dishonour, My Pictures Despise, My Person Degrade & My Temper Chastise; And The Pen Is My Terror, The Pencil My Shame; All My Talents I Bury, And Dead Is My Fame. Im Either Too Low Or Too Highly Prized; When Elate I M Envy'd, When Meek Im Despis'd

What Seems To Be, Is, To Those To Whom It Seems To Be, And Is Productive Of The Most Dreadful Consequences To Those To Whom It Seems To Be, Even Of Torments, Despair, Eternal Death.

I Love Hanging And Drawing And Quartering Every Bit As Well As War And Slaughtering.

To See A World In A Grain Of Sand And A Heaven In A Wildflower.
