“The innocent and the beautiful
Have no enemy but time;”

“Life is extraordinarily suave and sweet with certain natural, witty, affectionate people who have unusual distinction and are capable of every vice, but who make a display of none in public and about whom no one can affirm they have a single one. There is something supple and secret about them. Besides, their perversity gives spice to their most innocent occupations, such as taking a walk in the garden at night.”

“The innocent mansion of a panther’s heart!”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
