At one bold swoop to wrest
From darkling death the best
That Death to Life can give!”

She sets a springe to snare them all:
All's one to her—above her fan
She'd make sweet eyes at Caliban.”

Sweet courtesy has done its most
If you have made each guest forget
That he himself is not the host.”

“It was pleasant to me to get a letter from you the other day. Perhaps I should have found it pleasanter if I had been able to decipher it. I don't think that I mastered anything beyond the date (which I knew) and the signature (which I guessed at).

There's a singular and a perpetual charm in a letter of yours; it never grows old, it never loses its novelty… Other letters are read and thrown away and forgotten, but yours are kept forever - unread. One of them will last a reasonable man a lifetime.”
