Who shall say
The love of genius is a common thing,
Such as the many feel-half selfishness,
Half vanity?-for genius is divine,
And, like a god, doth turn its dwelling-place
Into a temple; and the heart redeem'd
By its fine influence is immortal shrine
For love's divinity. (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)
