Even allowing a generous margin for symbolism, that five hundred a year stands for the power to
contemplate, that a lock on the door means the power to think for oneself, still you may say that the mind

years, a dog's chance...a poor child in England has little more hope than had the son of an Athenian slave
to be emancipated into that intellectual freedom of which great writings are born." That is it. Intellectual
freedom depends upon material things. Poetry depends upon intellectual freedom.
