He may not, as unvalued persons do, Carve for himself; for on his choice depends The safety and the health of the whole state.
"Hamlet"
William Shakespeare
And then I feel that I, too, have come in for some crumbs from the feast, like the dogs under the table mentioned so eloquently in Scripture-sustenance unregarded and unvalued, no doubt, by yourself-cast out inevitably and naturally as light from the sun!
"Watersprings"
Arthur Christopher Benson
The most and the highest of this joy is possessed by him whose imagination is most capable of being poetically agitated; for by such agitation light is engendered within him, whereby objects and sensations that before were dim and opaque grow luminous and pellucid, like great statuary in twilight or moonlight, standing vague and unvalued until a torch is waved over it.
"Essays Æsthetical"
George Calvert
