“Ah tell me not that memory
Sheds gladness o’er the past;
What is recalled by faded flowers
Save that they did not last?”
—Letitia Elizabeth Landon (1802–1838)
“It is the business of the critic, as of the portrait painter, to synthesize a million glances at his subject that will tell the onlooker at one glance the truth about him, as ultimate as he can get it.”

“What we have we prize not to the worth
Whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost,
Why, then we rack the value, then we find
The virtue that possession would not show us
Whiles it was ours.”
