''"The healing of the world is in its nameless saints. Each separate star seems nothing, but a myriad scattered stars break up the night and make it beautiful."''

[[Mark Twain]] called Taylor "a genial, lovable, simple-hearted soul, . . . happy in his new dignity . . . He was a poet . . . and had also made the best of all English translations of [[Goethe]]'s 'Faust.'"
