I never was in love - yet the voice and the shape of a woman has haunted me these two days.

I find that I can have no enjoyment in the world but the continual drinking of knowledge. I find there is no worthy pursuit but the idea of doing some good for the world.

Faded the flower and all its budded charms,Faded the sight of beauty from my eyes,Faded the shape of beauty from my arms,Faded the voice, warmth, whiteness, paradise!Vanishd unseasonably

Scenery is fine - but human nature is finer.

Health is my expected heaven.

Tall oaks branch charmed by the earnest stars Dream and so dream all night without a stir.

Knowledge enormous makes a god of me.
