    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    “Art is a jealous mistress, and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider, and should be wise in season and not fetter himself with duties which will embitter his days and spoil him for his proper work.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The stained unsightly breath
    Of carious death.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Lay down, lay down the bigly bier,
    Lat me the dead look on;
    Wi’ cherry cheeks and ruby lips
    She lay an’ smil’d on him.

    O ae sheave o’ your bread, true-love,
    An’ ae glass o’ your wine,
    For I hae fasted for your sake
    These fully day [is] nine.”
    —Anna Gordon Brown (1747–1810)

    “All day long the machine waits: rooms,
    stairs, carpets, furniture, people
    those people who stand at the open windows like objects
    waiting to topple.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
