• Let us fill a cup and drink to that most noble, ridiculous, laughable, sublime figure in our lives... The Young Man Who Was.

• Art is universal. It unites mankind in common brotherhood.  As a missionary of civilization, its message is both to heart and mind.  Distinctions of tongue or boundary lines disappear before the power of truths, which, like the rainbow, charm by the beauty of variegated hues, or, combined with light, illuminate the universe.  Moreover, art is the connecting link in the chain of great minds.  Through its language, thought appeals to thought, and sympathy echoes feeling.

• Like the rainbow, peace rests upon the earth, but its arch is lost in heaven. Heaven bathes it in hues of light--it springs up amid tears and clouds--it is a reflection of the eternal sun--it is an assurance of calm--it is the sign of a great covenant between God and man--it is an emanation from the distant orb of immortal light.

  Charles Caleb Colton

  Peace, Spring, Reflection

• And the sun had on a crown
  Wrought of gilded thistledown,
  And a scarf of velvet vapor
  And a raveled rainbow gown;
  And his tinsel-tangled hair
  Tossed and lost upon the air
  Was glossier and flossier
  Than any anywhere.

  James Whitcomb Riley
