And thou, who didst the stars and sunbeams know, Self-schooled, self-scanned, self-honoured, self-secure; Didst tread on earth unguessed at. Better so. (Matthew Arnold)

And thou, who didst the stars and sunbeams know, Self-schooled, self-scanned, self-honoured, self-secure; Didst tread on earth unguessed at. Better so.
