“And so, being young and dipt in folly
I fell in love with melancholy,
And used to throw my earthly rest
And quiet all away in jest—
I could not love except where Death
Was mingling his with Beauty's breath—
Or Hymen, Time, and Destiny
Were stalking between her and me.”

How can one talk to a man and not feel happy loving him?... there are so many wonderful things at every step and turn that even the most disoriented person would find wonderful! Observe a child, observe the rising sun, observe the grass, the way it grows, look into the eyes that look back at you and love you”

“But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
