“Fate loves the fearless.”
James Russell Lowell

“Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind.”
James Russell Lowell

“AND what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;”
James Russell Lowell
