"What I am in search of is not so much the gratification of a curiosity or a passion for worldly life, but something far less conditional.

"But I find with Francis Bacon, some of the things were in the place, and someone who was connected with these schools of thought, and someone who had a motivation that equals the scope of the comedy and the tragedy in the plays."
