I console myself in the poverty of my thoughts; in the paucity of great men, in the malignity and dulness of the nations, by falling back on these sublime recollections, and seeing what the prolific soul could beget on actual nature; -seeing that Plato was, and Shakspeare, and Milton, -three irrefragable facts.	./cache/emerson-literary-732.epub	./txt/emerson-literary-732.txt
