Martin Farquhar Tupper Quotes
If the mind is wearied by study, or the body worn with sickness, It is well to lie fallow for a while, in the vacancy of sheer amusement ; But when thou prosprest in health, and thine intellect can soar untired, To seek uninstructive pleasure is to slumber on the couch of indolence.

And when they all were seated, a service, like a drum, kept beating, beating, till I felt my mind was going numb.

Just then, a plank in reason broke, and I fell down and down and hit a world at every plunge, and finished knowing then.
