Nature I Loved, And Next To Nature,

Truth Sometimes Corner Unawares Upon Caution, And Sometimes Speaks In Public As Unconsciously As In A Dream.

Belief In A Future Life Is The Appetite Of Reason.

The Only Effect Of Public Punishment Is To Show The Rabble How Bravely It Can Be Borne; And That Every One Who Hath Lost A Toe-nail Hath Suffered Worse.

Harmonious Words Render Ordinary Ideas Acceptable; Less Ordinary, Pleasant; Novel And Ingenious Ones, Delightful. As Pictures And Statues, And Living Beauty, Too, Show Better By Music-light, So Is Poetry Irradiated, Vivified, Glorified', And Raised Into Immortal Life By Harmony.

The Deafest Man Can Hear Praise, And Is Slow To Think Any An Excess.
