“We get no good By being ungenerous, even to a book, And calculating profits--so much help By so much reading. It is rather when We gloriously forget ourselves, and plunge Soul-forward, headlong, into a book's profound, Impassioned for its beauty, and salt of truth-- 'Tis then we get the right good from a book.” BookSoulHelpingReadingForgetProfoundProfitSaltPlungeCalculatingImpassioned Book:Poetical works Source: Poetical works
“Coquettes are, but too rare. It is a career that requires great abilities, infinite pains, a gay and airy spirit. 'T is the coquette who provides all the amusements,--suggests the riding-party, plans the picnic, gives and guesses charades, acts them. She is the stirring element amid the heavy congeries of social atoms,--the soul of the house, the salt of the banquet.” GivingSoulPainSpiritHouseSocialAbilityPartyCareersPlansGayElementsInfiniteHeavyAtomsSaltRidingAmusementStirringPicnicsBanquetsAiryCharadesCoquette Author:Benjamin Disraeli
