How warm this woodland wild Recess!/ LOVE surely hath been breathing here, /And this sweet bed of heath, my dear!/ Swells up, then sinks with faint caress,/ As if to have you yet more near." STC, Recollections of Love

Where true Love burns Desire is Love’s pure flame; It is the reflex of our earthly frame, That takes its meaning from the nobler part, And but translates the language of the heart. -"Desire" STC

Desire is Love’s pure flame;
It is the reflex of our earthly frame,
That takes its meaning from the nobler part,

"Hail! festal Easter that dost bring /Approach of sweetly-smiling spring, /When Nature's clad in green: /When feather'd songsters through the grove /With beasts confess the power of love /And brighten all the scene." STC "Easter Holidays"

"Now the least reflection convinces us, that our sensations, whether of pleasure or of pain, are the incommunicable parts of our nature...therefore we have no right to expect that others should agree with us, or to blame them for disagreement." Principles of Genial Criticism
