" For the pleasure and delight of knowledge, it far surpasseth all other 

 in nature. We see in all other pleasures there is satiety; and after they 

 be used their verdure departeth, which showeth well that they be but 

 deceits of pleasure, and not pleasures ; and that it was the novelty which 

 pleased, not the quality ; and therefore we see that voluptuous men turn 

 friars, and ambitious princes turn melancholy. But of knowledge there is 

 no satiety — but satisfaction and appetite are perpetually interchangeable." 



Bacon. 



" That nothing walks with aimless feet, 

 That not one life shall be destroyed. 

 Or cast as rubbish to the void. 

 When God hath made the pile complete." 



In Memoriam.
