“That voice didn't have logic on its side, but it didn't need to. It had good lungs and just outscreamed logic.”

“I roved o'er many a hill and many a dale
With this my weary load, in heat and cold,
Through many a wood, and many an open ground,
In sunshine or in shade, in wet or fair,
Now blithe, now drooping, as it might befal,
My best companions now the driving winds
And now the trotting brooks and whispering trees
And now the music of my own sad steps,
With many a short-lived thought that pass'd between
And disappeared.”

“...I have slept
Weeping, and weeping I have waked; my tears
Have flow'd as if my body were not such
As others are, and I could never die.”

“I walked on, still delighted with the rude beauties of the scene; for the sublime often gave place imperceptibly to the beautiful, dilating the emotions which were painfully concentrated.”
