• What various scenes, and O! what scenes of Woe,
  Are witness'd by that red and struggling beam!
  The fever'd patient, from his pallet low,
  Through crowded hospitals beholds it stream;
  The ruined maiden trembles at its gleam,
  The debtor wakes to thought of gyve and jail,
  The love-lorn wretch starts from tormenting dream;
  The wakeful mother, by the glimmering pale,
  Trims her sick infant's couch, and soothes his feeble wail.

• Behold great Whitman, whose licentious line Delights the rake, and warms the souls of swine; Whose fever'd fancy shuns the measur'd pace, And copies Ovid's filth without his grace.

• One might say, for example, that a patient has a kind of St Vitus's dance; a kind of dropsy; a kind of nerve fever; a kind of ague. One would never say, however (to end once and for all the confusion of these names) He has St. Vitus's dance, He has nerve fever, He has dropsy, He has ague, since there simply are not any fixed, unchanging diseases to be known by such names.

• You never hear Jesus say in Pilate's judgement hall one word that would let you imagine that He was sorry that He had undertaken so costly a sacrifice for us.
