"The secret of poetry is never explained - is always new. We have not got farther than mere wonder at the delicacy of the touch, & the eternity it inherits.

Poetry
"The study of social progress is today not less needed in literature than is the analysis of the human heart."
Heart
"On the day when man told the story of his life to man, history was born."
