Inspiration Is Solitary, Never Consecutive.

Every Time That A People Which Has Long Crouched In Slavery And Ignorance Is Moved To Its Lowest Depths There Appear Monsters And Heroes, Prodigies Of Crime And Prodigies Of Virtue.

Yet, In These Autumn Days When Nature Expires, Here, In These Veiled Scenes, I Find More Attractions; It Is A Friend's Sad Goodbye; It Is The Last Smile From Lips That Death Is Going To Close Forever!

Love Of Country Produces Among Men Such Examples As Cincinnatus, Alfred, Washington--pure, Unselfish, Symmetrical; Among Women, Vittoria Colonna, Madame Roland, Charlotte Corday, Jeanne Darc--romantic, Devoted, Marvelous.

Silence And Simplicity Obtrude On No One, But Are Yet Two Unequaled Attractions In Woman.

Eternity Is So Certain And So Terrible That A Thousand Lives Would Not Suffice To Prepare For It.
