'Beauty is a form of genius ~ is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.'
"Poe, the marvelous lord of rhythmic expression." - Oscar Wilde

Two of my favorite fellas, Wilde and Poe.
Wonder why I knew that..... :wink:
...Nature, whose sweet rains fall on just and unjust alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undetected. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt: she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitter herbs make me whole.'
~ "De Profundis"
