I am tired, beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; of squeezing it into little ink drops, and posting it. And I scald alone, here, under the fire of the great moon.
In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern.
Let us be of cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.
Moon! Moon! I am prone before you. Pity me, and drench me in loneliness.
Take everything easy and quit dreaming and brooding and you will be well guarded from a thousand evils.
Time! Joyless emblem of the greed of millions, robber of the best which earth can give.
You are ice and fire the touch of you burns my hands like snow.
Youth condemns; maturity condones.
