A lady being asked one day what induced 

 her to be so passionately fond of a flower that 

 presented so little lustre to the eye, replied, 

 '' Que la parfum de Theliotrope est a mon 

 parterre ce que Fame est a la beaute, la volupte 

 a Tamour, et Tamour a la jeunesse." 



" As with new wine intoxicated both. 



They swim in mirth, and fancy that they feel 

 Divinity within them breeding wings. 

 Wherewith to scorn the earth." 



Milton.
