We love to chew the cud of a foregone vision; to collect the scattered rays of a brighter phantasm, or act over again, with firmer nerves, the sadder nocturnal tragedies.
I am in love with the green earth.
Asparagus inspires gentle thoughts.
Presents, I often say, endear absents.
No one ever regarded the first of January with indifference.
We grow gray in our spirit long before we grow gray in our hair.
