I don't know if I'm intelligent enough for it, though.

How do we even know for sure this is true?
That's some a priori thinking right there.

Oh, for ten years that I may overwhelm
Myself in poesy.

No because they know all value is in being indirect.

John Williams op. Especially in stoner i think. Its sort of a secondary theme, but it hit really hard with me for some reason
