    forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily
    with my disposition that this goodly frame the earth seems to me
    a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look

    fretted with golden fire--why, it appeareth nothing to me but a
    foul and pestilent congregation of vapors.
