Nor will the sweetest delight of gardens afford much comfort in sleep; wherein the dullness of that sense shakes hands with delectable odours; and though in the bed of Cleopatra, can hardly with any delight raise up the ghost of a rose.
Thomas Browne Quotes
For my religion, though there be several circumstances that might persuade the world I have none at all---as the general scandal of my profession, the natural course of my studies, the indifferency of my behaviour and discourse in matters of religion, neither violently defending one, nor with that common ardour and contention opposing another---yet in despite hereof I dare without usurpation assume the honourable style of a Christian.
