"The passions grafted on wounded pride are the most inveterate; they are green and vigorous in old age."
"Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots."
"The degree in which a poet's imagination dominates reality is, in the end, the exact measure of his importance and dignity."
"With you a part of me hath passed away; For in the peopled forest of my mind A tree made leafless by this wintry wind Shall never don again its green array. Chapel and fireside, country road and bay, Have something of their friendliness resigned; Another, if I would, I could not find, And I am grown much older in a day. But yet I treasure in my memory Your gift of charity, and young hearts ease, And the dear honour of your amity; For these once mine, my life is rich with these. And I scarce know which part may greater be,-- What I keep of you, or you rob from me."
