“This type of man who is devoted to the study of wisdom is always most unlucky in everything, and particularly when it comes to procreating children; I imagine this is because Nature wants to ensure that the evils of wisdom shall not spread further throughout mankind.”

Got a misshapen look, it’s nudged where it could;
Simple as soil yet crowded as earth with all.”
