A dog, I have always said, is prose; a cat is a poem.

Prowling his own quiet backyard or asleep by the fire, he is still only a whisker away from the wilds.

Ett ärr är vad som uppstår när ordet blir kött.

The lines of poetry, the period of prose, and even the texts of Scripture most frequently recollected and quoted, are those which are felt to be preeminently musical

Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over

Yet no one hears his own remarks as prose.
