“Conventions, at the present moment, are really menaced. The most striking sign of this is that people are now making unconventionality a social virtue, instead of an unsocial vice. The switches have been opened, and the laden trains must take their chance of a destination.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“Lest, once more wandering from that heaven,
I fall on some base heart unblest,
Faithless to thee, false, unforgiven,
And lose my everlasting rest.”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
“the folk-lore
Of each of the senses; call it, again and again,
The river that flows nowhere, like a sea.”
