The boy, how sweet to him his fancy! how dear the story of barons and battles! What a hero he is, whilst he feeds on his heroes! What a debt is his to imaginative books!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon
Smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss
Of blankets.”
