“There is a small steam engine in his brain which not only sets the cerebral mass in motion, but keeps the owner in hot water.”

“Wandering between two worlds, one dead,
The other powerless to be born,
With nowhere yet to rest my head,
Like these, on earth I wait forlorn.
Their faith, my tears, the world deride—
I come to shed them at their side.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
