That
popular fable of the sot who was picked up dead-drunk in the
street, carried to the duke’s house, washed and dressed and
laid in the duke’s bed, and, on his waking, treated with
all obsequious ceremony like the duke, and assured that he had
been insane, owes its popularity to the fact that it symbolizes
so well the state of man, who is in the world a sort of sot, but
now and then wakes up, exercises his reason and finds himself a
true prince.
--Ralph
Waldo Emerson (1803–1882), U.S. essayist, poet,
philosopher. “Self-Reliance,” Essays, First Series
(1841, repr. 1847).
