“A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.”

“The naked woman’s body is a portion of eternity too great for the eye of man.”

“Cruelty has a human heart,And Jealousy a human face;Terror the human form divine,And Secresy the human dress.The human dress is forged iron,The human form a fiery forge,The human face a furnace sealed,The human heart its hungry gorge.- "A DIVINE IMAGE”

“The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity, too great for the eye of man.”
