    “Most modern reproducers of life, even including the camera, really repudiate it. We gulp down evil, choke at good.”

    “Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
    Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
    With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
    Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
    The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
