Quote by Charles Dickens

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever do

A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in -what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.
