Some Elizabethan dude...

A beautifully written article, and a necessary rebuke to an impoverished view of the human experience. It put me in mind of something I'd read:

... but man, proud man,

Dress'd in a little brief authority,

Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd—

His glassy essence—like an angry ape

Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven

As makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens,

Would all themselves laugh mortal.

(Just trying to remember where that came from...)
