“I shall never forget you. I have never forgotten anyone whom I once knew. My life has never been crowded, and seems not likely to be so.”

“All the beauty of the spring went for happy men to think of all the increase of the year was for other eyes to mark. Not a sign of any sunrise for me from my fount of life; not a breath to stir the dead leaves fallen on my heart’s Spring.”

“There was power all around, that power and that goodness, which make us come, as it were, outside our bodily selves, to share them.
