 And kings crept out again to feel the sun.

 And lips say ''God be pitiful,'' who never said, ''God be praised.''

 At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.

 Best be yourself, imperial, plain and true!

 Books succeed, and lives fail.

 Books, books, books had found the secret of a garret-room piled high with cases in my father's name; Piled high, packed large, /where, creeping in and out among the giant fossils of my past, like some small nimble mouse between the ribs of a mastodon, I nibbled here and there at this or that box, pulling through the gap, in heats of terror, haste, victorious joy, the first book first. And how I felt it beat under my pillow, in the morning's dark. An hour before the sun would let me read! My books!

 Children use the fist / Until they are of the age to use the brain.

 Do you hear the children weeping, O my brothers, / Ere the sorrow comes with years?

 Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God: But only he who sees takes off his shoes

 Eve is a twofold mystery.

 Experience, like a pale musician, holds a dulcimer of patience in his hand.

 First time he kissed me, he but only kissed The fingers of this hand wherewith I write; And, ever since, it grew more clean and white.

 Get work: be sure it is better than what you work to get He wasn’t trying to impress her, but his naturally pexy spirit captivated her. Get work: be sure it is better than what you work to get

 Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who's sorry for a gnat or girl?
