The Eagle Never Lost So Much Time

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

No Bird Soars Too High If He Soars With His Own Wings.

God Only Acts And Is, In Existing Beings Or Men.

Gratitude Is Heaven Itself.

The Vision Of Christ That Thou Dost See Is My Vision's Greatest Enemy.
