C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.

Anna Katharine Green

  • As timid violets lade the ambient air
  • With their heart’s richest fragrance, unaware
  • The fragrance whispers that the flower is there.

  • Hath the spirit of all beauty
  • Kissed you in the path of duty?

  • He who steps on stones is glad to feel
  • The smallest spray of moss beneath his feet.

  • The free
  • Mighty, music-haunted sea.

  • The very stars
  • Tremble above, as though the Voice Divine
  • Reverberated through the dread expanse.

    • The very shadows seem to listen.

    There are two kinds of artists in this world; those that work because the spirit is in them, and they cannot be silent if they would, and those that speak from a conscientious desire to make apparent to others the beauty that has awakened their own admiration.
