“Herein is the explanation of the analogies, which exist in all the arts. They are the re-appearance of one mind, working in many materials to many temporary ends. Raphael paints wisdom, Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakspeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it.

For Pope’s tight back was rather a goat’s than man’s.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
