- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For all that has been said of the love that certain natures (on shore) have professed for it, for all the celebrations it has been the object of in prose and song, the sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.

- Country
- |

As to honor - you know - it's a very fine mediaeval inheritance which women never got hold of. It wasn't theirs.
- Bird
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird.

A man's most open actions have a secret side to them.
- Hands
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Truth of a modest sort I can promise you, and also sincerity. That complete, praiseworthy sincerity which, while it delivers one into the hands of one's enemies, is as likely as not to embroil one with one's friends.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As in political so in literary action a man wins friends for himself mostly by the passion of his prejudices and the consistent narrowness of his outlook.
- Heap

- Dreams
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.
- Heart
