“I must say as to what I have seen of Texas, it is the garden spot of the world.”
Letter to his children (9 January 1836)
Context: I must say as to what I have seen of Texas, it is the garden spot of the world. The best land & best prospects for health I ever saw is here, and I do believe it is a fortune to any man to come here. There is a world of country to settle.

“You, Beloved, who are all
the gardens I have ever gazed at,
longing.”
You Who Never Arrived, as translated by Stephen Mitchell
Context: You, Beloved, who are all
the gardens I have ever gazed at,
longing. An open window
in a country house —, and you almost
stepped out, pensive, to meet me.
Streets that I chanced upon,—
you had just walked down them and vanished.
And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors
were still dizzy with your presence and, startled,
gave back my too-sudden image. Who knows?
perhaps the same bird echoed through both of us
yesterday, separate, in the evening...
