Poetry Is Something To Make Us Wiser

The Sentimentalist Does Not Think Of What He Does So Much As Of What The World Will Think Of What He Does.

The True Historical Genius, To Our Thinking, Is That Which Can See The Nobler Meaning Of Events That Are Near Him, As The True Poet Is He Who Detects The Divine In The Casual; And We Somewhat Suspect The Depth Of His Insight Into The Past Who Cannot Recognize The Godlike Of To-day Under That Disguise In Which It Always Visits Us.

The Time Is Ripe, And Rotten-ripe, For Change.

To Have Greatly Dreamed Precludes Low Ends.

He Mastered Whatever Was Not Worth The Knowing.
