Nor spared a useless, though a golden line.

of creating scenes of ideal enjoiment. "Perhaps there
is no less danger in works called sentimental. They
attack the heart more successfully, because more
cautiously." --V. Knox. "I can not but look on an
indifferency of mind, as to the good or evil things of
this life, as a mere romantic fancy of such who would
be thought to be much wiser than they ever were, or
could be." --Bp. Stillingfleet.
