When I feel inclined to read poetry, I take down my dictionary. The poetry of words is quite as beautiful as the poetry of sentences. The author may arrange the gems effectively, but their shape and lustre have been given by the attrition of ages.

Dictionaries are like watches, the worst is better than none and 
 even the best is not quite true. Samuel Johnson, 1784
