“Courage, the highest gift, that scorns to bend To mean devices for a sordid end. Courage--an independent spark from Heaven's bright throne, By which the soul stands raised, triumphant high, alone. Great in itself, not praises of the crowd, Above all vice, it stoops not to be proud. Courage, the mighty attribute of powers above, By which those great in war, are great in love. The spring of all brave acts is seated here, As falsehoods draw their sordid birth from fear.” MeanWarSoulEndsHeavenCourageProudBirthHighestSpringDrawsPraiseIndependentBraveRaisedVicesCrowdsDevicesSparksAttributesFalsehoodThronesBe ProudScornTriumphantStoops Book:Dramatic Works with Biographical and Critical Notices by Leigh Hunt. - London, Moxon 1840 Source: Dramatic Works with Biographical and Critical Notices by Leigh Hunt. - London, Moxon 1840

The more profound a professor's distaste with the proceedings, the more likely he is to melt away at the end of the talk.” PeopleArtBookEndsCompanyListeningArt IsSittingProfoundCrowdsProfessorsScholarLoadCrapUnlikelyLecturesProceedingDistasteHistory And Art Author:Camille Paglia
