I recently read an article on The Atlantic‚ “Lincoln and his Great Depression‚” and was struck by how the author ended his article: "Lincoln didn’t do great work because he solved the problem of his melancholy; the problem of his melancholy was all the more fuel for the fire of his great work.” I am not the type of person who quotes others in essays‚ but I am also not the type of person who has a sickness openly discussed in public.
