“There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears.

—Rebecca West (1892–1983)

“He has served me too well; by increasing my power he has stolen it away: he is now my subject only so long as he pleases.”
