George W. Curtis
Expiring like the deserted camp-fires of a retiring army.As finely flexible as linen.Quiver, as if they stood upon the verge of an imminent peril.Redolent … as a clover-field of honey.Sure … as the witch-hazel towards treasure.Trivial as to attempt to blow out the stars.As trivial as if a painter should put real gold upon his canvas instead of representing gold by means of paint.
