It was pure and unsophisticated: it had the poetry of an early world, when the materials of our feelings were not yet cast in the strong mould of circumstances, and men wandered forth, like children, in the universe that lay before them, to gather knowledge from everything lovely or majestic; and, if danger rose, to seek shelter in the bosom of love." - Mary Shelley ("Mathilda"; published posthumously in 1959)
