This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Wenn du zuerst dich achtest,
Spricht Geist, der stets bejaht:
Kritik ist Unterwerfung,
Reklamation Verrat !

"High Prophetess," said I, "purge off,
Benign, if it so please thee, my mind's film."
"None can usurp this height," returned that shade,
"But those to whom the miseries of the world
Are misery, and will not let them rest."
