That odd, fantastic ass, Rousseau, <br />Declared himself unique. <br />How men persist in doing so, <br />Puzzles me more than Greek. <br /> <br />The sins that tarnish whore and thief <br />Beset me every day. <br />My most ethereal belief <br />Inhabits common clay.<br /><br />Gamaliel Bradford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rousseau/
