“Oh! that thy love might overflow my Heart!
To fire the same with Love: for Love I would.

Lord, blow the Coal: Thy Love Enflame in mee.”

“Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One exhausts what they have to say in a very short time, and then they become as tedious as one’s relations.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
