But a Book is only the Heart's Portrait- every Page a Pulse.

You cannot put a fire out! A thing that can ignite can go itself- without a flame- E'en through the darkest night!

I fear a Man of frugal speech - I fear a Silent Man - Haranguer - I can overtake - Or Babbler - entertain - But He who weigheth - While the Rest - Expend their furthest pound - Of this Man - I am wary - I fear that He is Grand -

I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.

Grant me, O Lord, a sunny mind-Thy windy will to bear!

Existence has overpowered Books. Today I slew a Mushroom.

I miss the grasshoppers much, but suppose it is all for the best. I should become too much attached to a trotting world.
