The Principal Mark Of Genius Is Not

Send Light To The Dark Hearts Of Men, That Is The Duty The Artist.

The Flame That Is Naturally Clear Always Gives The Most Light And Heat. If I Could Blend My Talent For Poetry And Music Into One, The Light Would Burn Still Clearer, And I Might Go Far.

Talent Works, Genius Creates.

Play Always As If In The Presence Of A Master.

My Whole Life Has Been A Twenty Years Struggle Between Poetry And Prose, Or, If You Like To Call It So, Music And Law.
