Quote from "I Roger Williams", by Mary Lee Settle

[ambitious_wench]

"But even in the monkish idleness of Cambridge where there was more time to brabble in than ever I knew before or since, for we were fed by others, and taught by others, and kept as safe as the ancient monks from the perils of the world's hunger and homelesness and pain, we saw ourselves as swords of change. We gathered in our brilliance to change the color of the sky over the heads of those whose troubles lie closer to the earth."

Oh, to write like this. This is what I aspire to.
