I am a great & sublime fool. But then I am God's fool, & all His works must be contemplated with respect.


Letter to William Dean Howells [December 28(?), 1877]


I am a great & sublime fool. But then I am God's fool, & all His works must be contemplated with respect.

I am a great & sublime fool. But then I am God's fool, & all His works must be contemplated with respect.

I am a great & sublime fool. But then I am God's fool, & all His works must be contemplated with respect.
