Wherefore it was well said by the learned Alciato when speaking of men of beautiful genius, born in poverty, who are not able to raise themselves, because, in proportion as they are impelled upwards by the wings of their genius, so are they held down by their poverty Ut me pluma levat, sic grave mergit onus.
Giorgio Vasari - Lives of the Most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects: Vol. 04 (of 10), Filippino Lippi to Domenico Puligo
