6. • Friendship is a sheltering tree.
• Poetry: the best words in the best order.
• Alas! they had been friends in youth; but whispering tongues
can poison truth.
• Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once
contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future
conquests.
• Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world
calls wisdom.

11. Then all the charm
Is broken—all that phantom-world so fair
Vanishes, and a thousand circlets spread,
And each mis-shape the other. Stay awhile,
Poor youth! who scarcely dar'st lift up thine eyes--
The stream will soon renew its smoothness, soon
The visions will return! And lo! he stays,
And soon the fragments dim of lovely forms
Come trembling back, unite, and now once more
The pool becomes a mirror.
