"We live for the most part in a very iron mask of forms. Our daily 

 ways are at bottom so joyless, so trite, so compulsory, that we must be free 

 and simple sometimes, or we break. Our present world is a world of re- 

 markable civilization, and of very superior virtue, but it is not very natural 

 and not very happy. We need yet some snatches of the life of youth — to 

 be for a season simply happy and simply healthy. We need to draw 

 sometimes great drafts of simplicity and beauty. We need sometimes that 

 poetry should not be droned into our ears, but flashed into our senses. 

 And man, with all his knowledge and his pride, needs sometimes to know 

 nothing and to feel nothing, but that he is a marvellous atom in a marvel- 

 lous world." — Frederic Harrison.
