“And the shuttle never falters, but to draw an encouraging conclusion
From this would be considerable, too odd. Why not just

Who must with difficulty get down from high places?”

“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
