I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top.

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections and the truth of imagination.

Philosophy will clip an angel's wings.

Days of absence, sad and dreary, Clothed in sorrow’s dark array, – Days of absence, I am weary; She I love is far away.

I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love.

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
