A Man Who Means To Think And

Pain Has No Effect But To Steal Some Of My Time.

Most Marvelous And Enviable Is That Fecundity Of Fancy Which Can Adorn Whatever It Touches, Which Can Invest Naked Fact And Dry Reasoning With Unlooked-for Beauty, Make Flowers Bloom Even On The Brow Of The Precipice, And, When Nothing Better Can Be Had, Can Turn The Very Substance Of Rock Itself Into Moss And Lichens.

Next To Invention Is The Power Of Interpreting Invention; Next To Beauty The Power Of Appreciating Beauty.
