a sudden desire
No matter in how exalted a place a human being may set his throne, no matter how firmly he may press the crown of the exceptional, that is genius, upon his brow, he can never be sure that he may not, like Nebuchadnezzar, be seized with a sudden desire to go on all-fours and eat grass and herd with the common beasts of the field.
Jens Peter Jacobsen - Niels Lyhne
