«True ornament is not a matter of prettifying externals. It is organic with the structure it adorns, whether a person, a building, or a park.»
«What is life, when wanting love? Night without a morning; love's the cloudless summer sun, nature gay adorning.»
«Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; / But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.»
«The ancient Poets animated all sensible objects with Gods or Geniuses, calling them by the names and adorning them with the properties of woods, rivers, mountains, lakes, cities, nations, and whatever their enlarged and numerous senses could perceive. And particularly they studied the genius of each city and county, placing it under its mental deity. Till a system was formed, which some took advantage of and enslaved the vulgar by attempting to realize or abstract the mental deities from their objects; thus began Priesthood. Choosing forms of worship from poetic tales. And at length they pronounced that the Gods had ordered such things. Thus men forgot that All deities reside in the human breast.»
