“Hermann and Humbert are alike only in the sense that two dragons painted by the same artist at different periods of his life resemble each other. Both are neurotic scoundrels, yet there is a green lane in Paradise where Humbert is permitted to wander at dusk once a year; but Hell shall never parole Hermann.”

“I sat in silent musing—
The soft wind waved my hair;
It told me heaven was glorious
And sleeping earth was fair.”
