For Of Such Is The Kingdom Of Heaven, 1891, By Frank Bramley (1857-1915)

I have been so fatigued by the plague and my studies that i had scarcely thought to cultivate my inspirations

There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
