I can't help it, the idea of the infinite torments me.

— Alfred de Musset

Je ne puis;—malgré moi l'infini me tourmente.

Great artists have no country.

Listen, dying one! There is no worse sorrow than remembering happiness in the day of sorrow.

My glass is not large, but I drink from my glass.

As all the perfumes of the vanished day
Rise from the earth still moistened with the dew
So from my chastened soul beneath thy ray
Old love is born anew.
