“Fair are the flowers and the children, but their subtle suggestion is fairer; Rarer is the roseburst of dawn, but the secret that clasps it rarer; Sweet the exultance of song, but the strain that precedes it is sweeter And never was poem yet writ, but the meaning outmastered the meter.” ChildrenSongSecretBeautySweetFlowerFairsDawnSubtleSuggestionsStrainMeter Book:Poems Source: Poems
“There is a certain standard of grace and beauty which consists in a certain relation between our nature, such as it is, weak or strong, and the thing which pleases us. Whatever is formed according to this standard pleases us, be it house, song, discourse, verse, prose, woman, birds, rivers, trees, room, dress, and so on. Whatever is not made according to this standard displeases those who have good taste.” MadeCertainSongHouseStrongRoomsBeautyGraceTreePleaseTasteStandardsBirdRiversWeakRelationDressesProseVersesDiscourseGood Taste Book:Thoughts, Letters & Minor Works Source: Thoughts, Letters & Minor Works
