Quotes[edit]

  • No record of her high descent
    There needs, nor memory of her name;
    Enough that Raphael’s colors blent
    To give her features deathless fame.
    • Incognita of Raphael, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations 10th ed. (1919).
  • Really and truly—I’ve nothing to wear.
    • Nothing to Wear (1857), reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations 10th ed. (1919).
