'To Be Weak,' We Need Not The Great Archangel's Voice To Tell Us,
'_Is To Be Miserable_.' All Weakness Is Suffering And Humiliation,
No Matter For Its Mode Or Its Subject. Beyond All Other Weakness,
Therefore, And By A Sad Prerogative, As More Miserable Than What Is
Most Miserable In All, That Capital Weakness Of Man Which Regards The
_Tenure_ Of His Enjoyments And His Power To Protect, Even For A
Moment, The Crown Of Flowers--Flowers, At The Best, How Frail And Few!
--Which Sometimes Settles Upon His Haughty Brow.
