Creation is the production of order. What a simple, but, at the same time, comprehensive and pregnant principle is here! Plato could tell his disciples no ultimate truth of more pervading significance. Order is the law of all intelligible existence. - [Order] The highest art is always the most religious; and the greatest artist is always a devout man. A scoffing Raphael or Michael Angelo is not conceivable. - [Art] Rocking on a lazy billow With roaming eyes, Cushioned on a dreamy pillow, Thou art now wise. Wake the power within thee slumbering, Trim the plot that's in thy keeping, Thou wilt bless the task when reaping Sweet labour's prize. - Address to the Edinburgh Students, quoted by Lord Iddlesleigh "Desultory Reading" [Students] Converse with men makes sharp the glittering wit, But God to man doth speak in solitude. - Sonnet--Highland Solitude [Solitude]
