More quotes by Nathaniel Parker Willis
Vulgarity is more obvious in satin than in homespun.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
One gets, sensitive about losing mornings after getting a little used to them with living in a country. Each one of these endlessly varied daybreaks is an opera but once performed.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
Of dead kingdoms I recall the soul, sitting amid their ruins
Nathaniel Parker Willis
Gentleness is the great point to be obtained in the study of manners.

Nathaniel Parker Willis

Flirtation is a circulating library, in which we seldom ask twice for the same volume.
Nathaniel Parker Willis

Nathaniel Parker Willis
O, when the heart is, full, when bitter thoughts come crowding thickly up for utterance, and the poor common words of courtesy are such a very mockery, how much the bursting heart may pour itself in prayer!
Nathaniel Parker Willis
A lamp is lit in woman's eye that souls, else lost on earth, remember angels by.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
Nature has thrown a veil of modest beauty over maidenhood and moss-roses.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
How like a mounting devil in the heart rules the unreined ambition.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
Ah me! the world is full of meetings such as this,--a thrill, a voiceless challenge and reply, and sudden partings after!
