An exquisite invention this, Worthy of Love's most honeyed kiss,-- This art of writing billet-doux-- In buds, and odors, and bright hues! In saying all one feels and thinks In clever daffodils and pinks In puns of tulips and in phrases, Charming for their truth, of daisies.

The two divinest things this world has got,A lovely woman in a rural spot!
Leigh Hunt
Nature, at all events, humanly speaking, is manifestly very fond of color for she has made nothing without it. Her skies are blue her fields, green her waters vary with her skies her animals, vegetables, minerals, are all colored. She paints a great any of them in apparently superfluous hues, as if to show the dullest eye how she loves color.
Leigh Hunt
Fishes do not roar they cannot express any sound of suffering and therefore the angler chooses to think they do not suffer, more than it is convenient for him to fancy. Now it is a poor sport that depends for its existence on the want of a voice in the sufferer, and of imagination in the sportsman.
Leigh Hunt
The person who can be only serious or only cheerful, is but half a man.
Leigh Hunt
There are two worlds: The world that we can measure with line and rule, and the world we feel with our hearts and imaginations.
Leigh Hunt
There is no greater mistake in the world than the looking upon every sort of nonsense as want of sense.
