Favorite Quote:
"It is more than probable that I am not understood; but I fear, indeed, that it is in no manner possible to convey to the mind of the merely general reader, an adequate idea of that nervous intensity of interest with which, in my case, the powers of meditation (not to speak technically) busied and buried themselves, in the contemplation of even the most ordinary objects of the universe."

His heart of steel,

So sweet in its silence.

With no pounding, nor a beat

Its frightful coolness sits still.

Until his life comes to an end,

His heart of steel delivers no blood

To the body that betrayed me so.
