Felix Holt, The Radical - from Chapter 5
Sir, there's a hurry in the veins of youth
That makes a vice of virtue by excess. 2d Citizen.
What if the coolness of our tardier veins
Be loss of virtue? 1st Citizen.
All things cool with time —
The sun itself, they say, till heat shall find
A general level, nowhere in excess. 2d Citizen.
'Tis a poor climax, to my weaker thought,
That future middlingness.
