~Affection.~--None of the affections have been noted to fascinate and
bewitch, but love and envy.--_Bacon._
None are so desolate but something dear, dearer than self, possesses or
possess'd.--_Byron._
Those childlike caresses which are the bent of every sweet woman, who
has begun by showering kisses on the hard pate of her bald doll,
creating a happy soul within that woodenness from the wealth of her own
love.--_George Eliot._
