The highest triumph of art, is the truest presentation of nature.
I have unlearned contempt; it is a sin that is engendered earliest in the soul, and doth beset it like a poison worm feeding on all its beauty.

Pitch a lucky man into the Nile, says the Arabian proverb, and he will come up with a fish in his mouth!
We may believe that we shall know each other's forms hereafter; and in the bright fields of the better land call the lost dead to us.
There is no divining-rod whose dip shall tell us at twenty what we shall most relish at thirty.

It is the life I love.
