    I am not what is called a civilized man, professor. I have done with society for reasons that seem good to me. Therefore I do not obey its laws.

    When an immortal passion breathes in mortal clay;

    Crowded with bitter faces, the wounds in palm and side,
    The vinegar-heavy sponge, the flowers by Kedron stream....
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
