"How happy is the blameless vestals lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot."
O
Obscurity"Now, in our opinion, no author should be blamed for obscurity; nor should any pains be grudged in the effort to understand him, provided that he has done his best to be intelligible. Difficult thoughts are quite distinct from difficult words. Difficulty of thought is the very heart of poetry."
"How happy is the blameless vestals lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot."
"I give the fight up; let there be an end, A privacy, an obscure nook for me, I want to be forgotten even by God."
"Eo magis præfulgebat quod non videbatur."
"Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air."
"Ut sæpe summa ingenia in occulto latent!"
"Content thyself to be obscurely good."
