• Good Americans, when they die, go to Paris.
  • Quoted by Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table (1858), ch. 6

• In the heart's album there are treasured faces,
  Our household darlings, friends which are our own;
  And with them favorite haunts and cherished places,
  So dear, they seem but made for us alone.
  • "Places", st. 1. Fresh Leaves (1874) p. 189
