To Have Been Torn From The Study

The Fact Is I Am Growing Old Too Fast, Alas! I Feel It, And Yet Work I Will, And May God Grant Me Life To See The Last Plate Of My Mammoth Work Finished.

The Fur Company May Be Called The Exterminating Medium Of These Wild And Almost Uninhabitable Regions, Which Cupidity Or The Love Of Money Alone Would Induce Man To Venture Into. Where Can I Now Go And Find Nature Undisturbed?

If Only The Bird With The Loveliest Song Sang, The Forest Would Be A Lonely Place.

To Have Been Torn From The Study Would Have Been As Death; My Time Was Entirely Occupied With Art.

My Drawings At First Were Made Altogether In Watercolors, But They Wanted Softness And A Great Deal Of Finish.
