"He is a man speaking to men: a man, it is true, endured with more lively sensibility, more enthusiasm and tenderness, who has great knowledge of human nature, and a more comprehensive soul, than are supposed to be common among mankind, a man pleased with his own passions, and volitions, and who rejoices more than other men in the spirit of life that is in him; delighting to contemplate similiar volitions and passions as manifested in the goings-on of the universe, and habitually impelled to create them where he does not find them."

 

 William Wadsworth
