I started doing this a few years ago--when I read a great scholarly article, for example, I will drop a note to the author telling them how good I think it is. Especially if the author is a junior person. It takes two minutes and is a nice affirmation.

Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound,
My ears attend the cry:
Ye living men, come view the ground
Where you must shortly lie.
Princes, this clay must be your bed,
in spite of all your tow’rs;
the tall, the wise, the reverend head,
Shall lie as low as ours.
--Isaac Watts (1707)
