If I Leave All For

Gaze Up At The Stars Knowing That I See The Same Sky And Wish The Same Sweet Dreams.

It Is Not Merely The Likeness Which Is Precious... But The Association And The Sense Of Nearness Involved In The Thing... The Fact Of The Very Shadow Of The Person Lying There Fixed Forever! It Is The Very Sanctification Of Portraits I Think - And It Is Not At All Monstrous In Me To Say That I Would Rather Have Such A Memorial Of One I Dearly Loved, Than The Noblest Artist's Work Ever Produced.

Love Me Sweet With All Thou Art Feeling, Thinking, Seeing; Love Me In The Lightest Part, Love Me In Full Being.

I Work With Patience, Which Is Almost Power.

If We Tried To Sink The Past Beneath Our Feet, Be Sure The Future Would Not Stand.
