Every Green Thing Loves To Die In Bright Colors. The Vegetable Cohorts March Glowing Out Of The Year In Flaming Dresses, As If To Leave This Earth Were A Triumph And Not A Sadness. It Is Never Nature That Is Sad, But Only We, That Dare Not Look Back On The Past, And That Have Not Its Prophecy Of The Future In Our Bosoms.

The Indolent Mind Is Not Empty, But Full Of Vermin.

If Men Had Wings And Bore Black Feathers, Few Of Them Would Be Clever Enough To Be Crows.
