¡¡¡¡ "I have read two books of the ILIAD, besides being pretty familiar with passages such as the speech of Phoenix in the ninth book, the fight of Hector and Ajax in the fourteenth, the appearance of Achilles unarmed and his heavenly armour in the eighteenth, and the funeral games in the twenty-third. I have also done some Hesiod, a little scrap of Thucydides, and a lot of the Greek Testament.... I wish there was only one dialect all the same. ¡¡¡¡ "I have done some mathematics, including the first six and the eleventh and twelfth books of Euclid; and algebra as far as simple equations. ¡¡¡¡ "I know something of the Fathers, and something of Roman and English history. ¡¡¡¡ "These things are only a beginning. But I shall not make much farther advance here, from the difficulty
oil painting of getting books. Hence I must next concentrate all my energies on settling in Christminster. Once there I shall so advance, with the assistance I shall there get, that my present knowledge will appear to me but as childish ignorance. I must save money, and I will; and one of those colleges shall open its doors to me--shall welcome whom now it would spurn, if I wait twenty years for the welcome. ¡¡¡¡ "I'll be D.D. before I have done!"
