Quotes

My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.

And the work is play for mortal stakes,
Is the deed ever really done
For Heaven and the future's sakes.

In thee thy summer, ere thou be distill'd:
Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place
With beauty's treasure…

i'll give you a treasure
