Side 88 - Those who quit their proper character, to assume what does not belong to them, are, for the greater part, ignorant both of the character they leave, and of the character they assume.
Side 213 - WE knew it would rain, for all the morn. A spirit on slender ropes of mist Was lowering its golden buckets down Into the vapory amethyst Of marshes and swamps and dismal fens — Scooping the dew that lay in the flowers, Dipping the jewels out of the sea, To sprinkle them over the land in showers.
Side 475 - I deemed that if they were put under a sort of cover I might gain my end ; and happening to have a mask in the house, I told them all to stand and speak boldly from under cover of the mask. " I began with the youngest (Anne, afterwards Acton Bell), and asked what a child like her most wanted ; she answered, 'Age and experience.
