Hence, viper thoughts, that coil around my mind,Reality's dark dream!I turn from you, and listen to the wind,Which long has raved unnoticed.

That gracious thing, made up of tears and light.

My eyes make pictures when they are shut.

Imagination that compares and contrasts with what is around as well as what is better and worse is the living power and prime agent of all human perception judgement and emotional reaction.

Religion is the most gentlemanly thing in the world. It alone will gentilize, if unmixed with cant.

Every crime has, in the moment of its perpetration, Its own avenging angel-dark misgiving, An ominous sinking at the inmost heart.

A great mind must be androgynous.
