“What you have said
I will consider; what you have to say
I will with patience hear, and find a time
Both meet to hear and answer such high things.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Their school a crowd, his master solitude;
Through Jonathan Swift’s dark grove he passed, and there
Plucked bitter wisdom that enriched his blood.”
