There is no defense against reproach but obscurity it is a kind of concomitant to greatness, as satires and invectives were an essential part of a Roman triumph. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age, have passed through this fiery persecution. It is folly for an eminent person to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected by it. Ten thousand fools proclaim themselves into obscurity, while one wise man forgets himself into immortality. Fortune? Could that frivolity be counted a blessing? All that remains are those so-called happy days that flow past unnoticed in the obscurity of domestic cares, leaving man with the desire neither to lose his life nor to begin it over. Fame? You share it with mediocrity or crime. Love? it is deceived, fleeting, or guilty. What importance can we attach to the things of this world? Friendship? It disappears when the one who is liked comes to grief, or the one who likes becomes powerful. Many, on whom fortune has bestowed her favours, may trace their family to a more unprosperous station and many who are now in obscurity, may look back upon the affluence and exalted rank of their ancestors. The changes in the human condition are uncertain and frequent. What lies beyond our positive idea towards infinity, lies in obscurity, and has the undeterminate confusion of a negative idea, wherein I know I do not comprehend all I would, it being too large for a finite capacity.Īlexander Hamilton, The Farmer Refuted, February 23, 1775: That this part of sacred scripture had difficulties in it: many causes of obscurity did readily occur to me. Not to mention that obscureness that attends prophetic raptures, there are divers things knowable by the bare light of nature, which yet are so uneasy to be satisfactorily understood by our imperfect intellects, that let them be delivered in the clearest expressions, the notions themselves will yet appear obscure. Out of myself there should be no more day.īut, like the sun, must cheer all human kind. I could lend them obscureness now, and say, It would not form one thought dark as mine are: Should Cynthia quit thee, Venus, and each star, Lo! a day of darkness and obscurity, tribulation and anguish, upon the earth.
