Except In This Ignorant And Material Century, Men Have Always Worn Precious Stuffs And Beautiful Colours As Well As Women.

I Haven't Much Time To Be Fond Of Anything ... But When I Have A Moment's Fondness To Bestow, Most Times ... The Roses Get It.

Early And Late, Through The Long Winter Nights And The Quiet Summer Days, I Drank At The Fountain Of Knowledge, And Never Wearied Of The Draught.
