Who Said, "Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Narrow Minds"?

Other than my mother, that is. In two days, I've gone from being extremely exasperated by how little I like Mélusine to being extremely exasperated that the sequel/second half, The Virtu, won't be out until June. For some reason I'd thought it would be published in February. I still think the beginning of Mélusine is hideously florid, and a number of secondary characters act fantastically thick, but I want to know what happens to Mildmay the Fox.

Aha. Emerson. Of course. Though I like the slightly less complete version for its anonymous annotation: "Emerson does not explain the difference between foolish and wise consistency."
