About this image
"In like manner, nothing can be clearer than that a very generous spirit — truly feeling
what all merely profess — must inevitably find itself misconceived in every direction —
its motives misinterpreted. Just as extremeness of intelligence would be thought fatuity,
so excess of chivalry could not fail of being looked upon as meanness in its last degree:
— and so on with other virtues. This subject is a painful one indeed."
Edgar Allan Poe, Marginalia, Part XV, Manuscript fragments, May 1849.
