When less than four years old I was standing with my nurse, Mary Ward, watching the shadows on the wall from branches of an elm behind which the moon had risen. I have never forgot those shadows and am often trying to paint them.

A baited cat may grow as fierce as a lyon.
Samuel Palmer
Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open.
Samuel Palmer
There is nothing like books - of all things sold incomparably the cheapest, of all pleasure the least palling, they take up little room, keep quiet when they are not wanted, and, when taken up, bring us face to face with the choicest men who ever lived, at their choicest moments.
Samuel Palmer
When the door shuts another opens. He that would struggle with the world, and bear up in adversity, ought still to resolve not to be discouraged, for resolution is the mother of fortitude, and not only necessary to our support, but very much conducive to our deliverance.
Samuel Palmer
I hope to begin a new plan... not sitting down to local matter but walking and watching.
Samuel Palmer
