“of all things the perfection is to imitate the face of mankind”
Nicholas Hilliard, The Arte of Limning: A More Compendious Discourse Concerning Ye Art of Liming

Siegfried Sassoon
“His wet white face and miserable eyes
Brought nurses to him more than groans and sighs:
But hoarse and low and rapid rose and fell
His troubled voice: he did the business well.

(First verse of Died of Wounds)”
Siegfried Sassoon, The War Poets: A Selection of World War I Poetry

Juliet Nicolson, The Great Silence 1918-1920: Living in the Shadow of the Great War

William Shakespeare
“Wear me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, passion cruel as the grave.”
William Shakespeare, Henry V

“Any property taken away from others, whether by stealth, fraud or violence, must be wrong: but to take away men themselves, and keep them in slavery, must be worse.”
Ottobah Cugoano known as John Stuart
