understand his parts, but to communicate a nobler coloring to his
manners and mien.--_Goethe._

~Admiration.~--Admiration and love are like being intoxicated with
champagne; judgment and friendship like being enlivened.--_Johnson._

Season your admiration for awhile.--_Shakespeare._

I wonder whether the subtle measuring of forces will ever come to
measuring the force there would be in one beautiful woman whose mind was
