Quote by Matthew Arnold
The need of expansion is as genuine an instinct in man as the need

The need of expansion is as genuine an instinct in man as the need in a plant for the light, or the need in man himself for going upright. The love of liberty is simply the instinct in man for expansion. – Matthew Arnold

And feel, who have laid our groping hands away;
And see, no longer blinded by our eyes. – Rupert Brooke
