“We poets always have uneasy hearts, because our hearts, large rounded as the globe can turn but one side to the sun at once. We are used to dip our artist-hands in gall and potash, trying potentialities of alternated colours, till at last we get confused and wonder for our skin, how nature tinged it first.” — Aurora Leigh
