• The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day. When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May.

• We can make a little order where we are, and then the big sweep of history on which we can have no effect doesn't overwhelm us. We do it with colors, with a garden, with the furnishings of a room, or with sounds and words. We make a little form, and we gain composure.

• The rose is a rose,
  And was always a rose.
  But the theory now goes
  That the apple's a rose,
  And the pear is, and so's
  The plum, I suppose.
  The dear only knows
  What will next prove a rose.
  You, of course, are a rose -
  But were always a rose.
