His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, – and the stars through his soul." "A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil." "Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise."
