Copperfield, you perceive before you the shattered fragment of a temple once called Man....

David Copperfield as a child:
Oh thank you, Mr. Micawber, you're so kind to me. Mr. Micawber:

Copperfield, you perceive before you the shattered fragment of a temple once called Man. The blossom is blighted, the leaf is withered; the god of day goes down upon the dreary scene. In short, I am forever flawed
