>From the desk of H. Purcell, the Obscure:

O, how I solitude adore!
That element of noblest wit,
Where I have learnt Apollo's lore,
Without the pains to study it.
For thy sake I in love am grown
With what thy fancy does pursue;
But when I think upon my own,
I hate it for that reason too,
Because it needs must hinder me
>From seeing and from serving thee.
O solitude, O how I solitude adore!

Does anyone know what is "Apollo's lore."  I guess that it's something 
that life teaches so that on does not have to go through the pain of 
studying it, but, really, pretty clueless.

Thanks,
Peter.

The next auto-quote (sent from my commercial-free computer) is:

I reverse the phrase of Voltaire, and say that if God
really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him.
(Mikhail Bakunin)
