POETICAL QUOTATIONS
"_Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of
it.... We are as much informed of a writer's genius by what he selects
as by what he originates_."--R.W. EMERSON.
From "QUOTATION AND ORIGINALITY."
ABSENCE.
'T is said that absence conquers love;
But oh! believe it not.
I've tried, alas! its power to prove,
But thou art not forgot.
_Absence Conquers Love_. F.W. THOMAS.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder;
Isle of Beauty, fare thee well!
_Isle of Beauty_.
