Джордж Дарли (George Darley)

Epigram (Presence of mind he has not, I agree)

On a blockhead who censured a man of genius 
for his want of presence of mind.

Presence of mind he has not, I agree;
Had'st thou his absence it were well for thee:
His thoughts are o'er the universe! vain elf,
Thine never quit that little world,—thyself!
