"Sighs are the gales that blow us to heaven, I sometimes think; they breathe unconscious weariness of the “here,"-Rhoda Broughton, Cometh Up As a Flower
"When one is very young and very happy, one courts melancholy thoughts for the sake of the contrast they afford to one's own inner life; in later days such thoughts are less coy, need no courting, but run to meet us, embrace, and cling about us, even when we could well dispense with the pleasure of their society. But in youth, when the blood is rioting through the veins, life seems so strong within us as to be almost able to challenge the old scythesman to single combat, and worst him."-Rhoda Broughton, Cometh Up As a Flower
