To be occasionally quoted is the only fame I care for.

A poem round and perfect as a star.

God has thickly strewn infinity with grandeur.

In my garden I spend my days; in my library I spend my nights.

It is not of so much consequence what you say, as how you say it. Memorable sentences are memorable on account of some single irradiating word.

My garden, with its silence and pulses of fragrance that come and go on the airy undulations, affects me like sweet music. Care stops at the gates, and gazes at me wistfully through the bars.

To sit for one's portrait is like being present at one's own creation.
