Takeaways
Description
Benjamin Franklin was a man of self-control, reason and dignity, which is why he took on the expression of a Titan. He set out to remember the hell of Germany, and thought it through with scientific posers. He wrote in a lucid and unpretentious manner that was profound, like his philosophies. His writings are filled not just with the agony but also his love for what made life exquisite for him. He was himself a magical enchanter who lived in dutiful harmony.
