Why are we never quite at ease in the presence of a schoolmaster Because we are conscious that he is not quite at his ease in ours. He is awkward, and out of place in the society of his equals. He comes like Gulliver from among his little people, and he cannot fit the stature of his understanding to yours. (Charles Lamb)
