Heap on more wood! - the wind is chill But let it whistle as it will, We'll keep our Christmas merry still.

The rose is fairest when 't is budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Image
All live by seeming. The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier Will eke with it his service.--All admit it, All practise it and he who is content With showing what he is, shall have small credit In church, or camp, or state.--So wags the world.

O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood Land of the mountain and the flood!
Walter Scott
Image
You will, I trust, resemble a forest plant, which has indeed, by some accident, been brought up in the greenhouse, and thus rendered delicate and effeminate, but which regains its native firmness and tenacity, when exposed for a season to the winter air.
Walter Scott
Image
It is more difficult to look upon victory than upon battle.
Walter Scott
Image
But search the land of living men, Where wilt thou find their like again?
Walter Scott
Image
Come one, come all! this rock shall fly From its firm base, as soon as I.
Walter Scott
Image
If a farmer fills his barn with grain, he gets mice. If he leaves it empty, he gets actors.

And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.

We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.
