What an interesting man, his quote about conviction really resonates with me! Also in the 3rd poem you shared, wow what an intense ending.
For he gave all his heart and lost.
Really enjoyed the 3rd one, whats written on his statue thought? Can't seem to get many words out of it.
I've never seen that statue in person, but I imagine it's probably covered with some lines from his writings.
I did some googling out of curiosity and yes, it turns out its some verses from his poems and writings!
