For Thy Part, I Passionately Wish Thou Wert A Dog*




Fig. 1. Michelangelo (di Lodovico Buonarroti Simon) - The Last Judgement, 1534-1541


'To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue.'

William Hazlitt


* 'I am misanthropos, and hate mankind,/For thy part, I do wish thou wert a dog,/That I might love thee something.' (from Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare)
