    Is it just me, or was Sir Walter Ralegh obsessed with death, incessantly morbid, and extremely disillusioned with the world around him? I like his writing though, especially his sarcasm as shown when he was asked why he did not include recent events in History of the World. He said that he who follows truth too closely at the heels might get kicked in the teeth.
