　　to watch the return of the seasons, of spring and autumn, to hear

　　The stock doves notes amid the forest deep,

　　That drowsy forest rustles to the sighing gale.

　　 to traverse desert wilderness,to listen to the dungeons gloom,

　　or sit in crowded theatres and see life itself mocked,

　　to feel heat and cold, pleasure and pain, right and wrong, truth and falsehood,

　　to study the works of art and refine the sense of beauty to agony,

　　to worship fame and to dream of immortality,

　　to have read Shakespeare and Beloit to the same species as Sir Isaac Newton;
