• My other hobby, because I just love any job with a gavel, is auctioneer. And I so often have presided over charity auctions in New York that many years ago Sotheby's sent me my own gavel. Now, the Sotheby's gavel is infinitely more elegant--it came in a little velvet bag, with "Sotheby's" inscribed in gold. It hangs in my library. I feel that everyone has occasion to use a gavel at various times everyday, they just don't think of it.

• Man's books are but man's alphabet,
  Beyond and on his lessons lie -
  The lessons of the violet,
  The large gold letters of the sky;
  The love of beauty, blossomed soil,
  The large content, the tranquil toil:
  The toil that nature ever taught,
  The patient toil, the constant stir,
  The toil of seas where shores are wrought,
  The toil of Christ, the carpenter;
  The toil of God incessantly
  By palm-set land or frozen sea.
