“Cling with life to the maid;
But when the surprise,
First vague shadow of surmise
Flits across her bosom young,
Of a joy apart from thee,
Free be she, fancy-free;
Nor thou detain her vesture’s hem,
Nor the palest rose she flung
From her summer diadem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Eulogy is nice, but one does not learn anything from it.”
—Ellen Terry (1847–1928)
“Man has an incurable habit of not fulfilling the prophecies of his fellow men.”
