Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity—it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
诗歌应当以优美的丰盈而非奇特来使人惊喜——它应当让读者觉得表达了他自己最高尚的思想，几乎像是一种回忆。
The right of nature... is the liberty each man hath, to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.
