Joseph "John" Merrick was a very intelligent and well-read gentleman. He loved to read and acted out scenes from pantomimes that he was taken to see. He often ended his correspondence to well wishers by quoting an Isaac Watts verse: "'Tis true my form is something odd, But blaming me is blaming God. Could I create myself anew, I would not fail in pleasing you. If I could reach from pole to pole, Or grasp the ocean with a span. I would be measured by the soul, The mind's the standard of the man." ~ Isaac Watts 1674-1748.
