Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.

Summary

This quote suggests that the way we perceive and experience nature is influenced by our inner state of mind and emotions. It implies that our mental and emotional disposition shapes our perception of the natural world, and that nature reflects our inner world. Therefore, if we have a positive and vibrant spirit, we are more likely to see the beauty and vitality in nature, while a negative or troubled spirit may lead to a more somber or gloomy perception of the natural world. Ultimately, this quote highlights the interconnectedness between our inner selves and the external world of nature.

If the reviewing of books be... an ungentle craft, the making of them is, for the most part, a dishonest one -- and that department of literature which ought to be entrusted to those only who are distinguished for their moral qualities is, not infrequently, in the hands of authors totally devoid of good taste, good feeling, and generous sentiment. The writers of Lives have, in our time, assumed a license not enjoyed by their more scrupulous predecessors -- for they interweave the adventures of the living with the memoirs of the dead; and, pretending to portray the peculiarities which sometimes mark the man of genius, they invade the privacy and disturb the peace of his surviving associates.
