    and Olaf, too

    preponderatingly because
    unless statistics lie he was
    more brave than me: more blond than you.

    A man sees only what concerns him.... How much more, then, it requires different intentions of the eye and of the mind to attend to different departments of knowledge! How differently the poet and the naturalist look at objects!
