“The rhyme of the poetModulates the king's affairs.”

“The world is so great and rich, and life so full of variety, that you can never lack occasions for poems.”

“For those that love the world serve it in action, Grow rich, popular, and full of influence; And should they paint or write still is it action, The struggle of the fly in marmalade.”

“Could Shakespeare give a theory of Shakespeare?”

“Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely. Light and colour, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.”
