Strange, that some of us, with quick alternate vision, see beyond our infatuations, and even while we rave on the heights, behold the wide plain where our persistent self pauses and awaits us.

In the broad earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and the slag,Enclosed and safe within its central heart,Nestles the seed perfection.

Walt Whitman, Song of the Univer

Anne Campbell

There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power.
