“Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries in a thousand years have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“My stardust melody, the memory of love’s refrain.”
—Mitchell Parish (1901–1993)
