If I am not worth the wooing, I surely am not worth the winning!

Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions.

The setting of a great hope is like the setting of the sun. The brightness of our life is gone.

Gone are the living, but the dead remain, And not neglected; for a hand unseen, Scattering its bounty like a summer rain, Still keeps their graves and their remembrance green.

The secret anniversaries of the heart.

O thou sculptor, painter, poet! Take this lesson to thy heart: That is best which lieth nearest; Shape from that thy work of art.

And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares, that infest the day, Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, and silently steal away.
