Oh, wearisome condition of humanity,
Born under one law, to another bound,
Vainly begot and yet forbidden vanity,
Created sick, commanded to be sound,
What meaneth nature by these diverse laws,
Passion and reason, self-division's cause?
– Fulke Greville, quoted as epigraph to Aldous Huxley's Point Counter Point (1928)
