Just because the sun is shining, have some Keats: at once it struck me, what quality went to form a Man of Achievement especially in literature & which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is when man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts without any irritable reaching after fact & reason.

(was talking about this over at hyel's place, and realized that I hadn't thought about it for too long. So, as a reminder to myself, and to anyone else who might need it today.)
