"Fantastic shadows of birds..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“I am tired of myself to-night. I should like to be somebody else.”

“One's past is what one is. It is the only way by which people should be judged.”

“Industry is the root of all ugliness.”

“When the reptile is attacked at one mouth of his burrow, he shows himself at another.”

“When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.”

“Like the sea itself, the unconscious yields an endless and self-replenishing abundance of creatures, a wealth beyond our fathoming.”

“The train skimmed on softly, slithering, black pennants fluttering, black confetti lost on its own sick-sweet candy wind, down the hill, with the two boys pursuing, the air was so cold they ate ice cream with each breath.”

“On the motionless branches of some trees, autumn berries hung like clusters of coral beads, as in those fabled orchards where the fruits were jewels . . .”

“The calm, Cool face of the river, Asked me for a kiss”
