" As for your pretty little soed-cups, or vases, they are a sweet confirmation of the pleasure 

 Nature seems to take in superadding an elegance of form to most of her works, wherever you 

 find them. How poor and bungling are all the imitations of art! When i have the pleasure 

 of seeing you next we will sit down — uay, kneel down if you will— and admire these things."
