Forgot my morning wishes, hastily
Took a few herbs and apples, and the Day
Turned and departed silent. I too late
Under her solemn fillet saw the scorn. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

That is, providing the person wishes to develop them is honest in mind, because with animals you cannot cheat. — Barbara Woodhouse
