George Gordon Byron. (№ 423775)
I believe that the preference given to writers over people of active life, the general attention to scribes and their writings are proof of our errand, weakness, degeneration. Will someone who is capable of something better want to write? "Actions, actions, actions!" said Demosthenes. Actions, actions, actions! - I say, not the scriptures, and least of all the poems!
