“Men, when enthrall’d by the puissant tide of their own affections, are oft but humble clay, unshapen and earthbound; yet they who stand apart and behold such passions with contemplative eye are transmuted into poets. For thus it hath ever seem’d to me that the most guiding and heaven-breathed literature of the world descendeth unto us not in common speech, but array’d in the measured raiment of verse.”

Virtue is the Supreme good, the Supreme beauty, the Divinest of Gods Gifts, the Health and Harmonious unfolding of the Soul, and the germ of Immortality. It is worth every Sacrifice, and has power to transmute sacrifices and sufferings into Crowns of Glory and Rejoicing - W.E Channing
