"Why break the seals of mute despair unbidden
And wail life's discords into careless ears?
…
If any cares for the weak words here written,
It must be someone desolate, fate-smitten,
Whose faith and hope are dead, and who would die."

James Thomson's last days

"thwarted and hampered by the development of inherited infirmities and the weight of external misfortunes, until he is involved in a Nessus-robe of doubt and failure and despair; yet all the while by sheer strength and courage of intellect looking his destiny in the face, and maintaining to the last his gentleness towards others and his constancy to himself"

thrilled through the vaulted aisles and died away"
