“Walking at random through the streets, we came by chance upon the Cathedral of Notre Dame. I shall long remember my first impression of the scene within. The lofty gothic ceiling arched far above my head and through the stained windows the light came but dimly - it was all still, solemn and religious.”

“Melrose is the finest remaining specimen of Gothic architecture in Scotland. Some of the sculptured flowers in the cloister arches are remarkably beautiful and delicate, and the two windows - the south and east oriels - are of a lightness and grace of execution really surprising.”

“The loving are the daring.”

“Pardon not wrath is God's best attribute.”

“I love thee, I love but theeWith a love that shall not dieTill the sun grows cold,And the stars grow old”

“The bravest are the most tender”
