Flouted opinion in his personal hair;
For foppery he gave not any figs,
But in his right and honor took the air.”

“Personality and mind, like moustaches, belong to a certain age. They are a deformity in a child.... Leave his sensibilities, his emotions, his spirit, and his mind severely alone. There is the devil in mothers, that they must provoke personal ... response from their infants.”
