Lucan died at an age when most poets have done nothing very
remarkable; that he already had achieved a poem like the _Pharsalia_,
would make us think he might have gone to incredible heights, were it
not that the mistake of the
_Pharsalia_
seems to belong incurably to his
temperament.

Acetate of lead would doubtless be effectual--indeed, it
has proven to be so; but I do not
recommend
it, because I conceive it
possible that a long continued use of it might impair the instinct.

Knowlton - Fruits of Philosophy- A Treatise on the Population Question |

Say that the Utopian reasoners are
visionaries, unfounded; that the state of virtue and knowledge they
suppose, in which reason shall have become all-in-all, can never take
place, that it is
inconsistent
with the nature of man and with all
experience, well and good--but to say that society will have attained
this high and "palmy state," that reason will have become the master-
key to all our motives, and that when arrived at its greatest power it
will cease to act at all, but will fall down dead, inert, and senseless
before the principle of population, is an opinion which one would
think few people would choose to advance or assent to, without strong
inducements for maintaining or believing it.

But him the paynim well awakes again,
Whom by the neck he with strong arm has caught,
And gripes and
grapples
with such mighty force,
He falls on earth, pulled headlong from his horse.
