The bravest person I've ever met was a young boy going through massive amounts of treatment for a very rare, complex and unpleasant disease.

There can be no proof that Blake's lyric is composed of the best words in the best order; only a conviction, accepted by our knowledge and judgment, that it is so. ↗
