He has lost her highest help; he has crippled the intelligence he needed; he has belittled the very source of his own being and dwarfed the image of his Maker.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“Maud Muller looked and sighed: “Ah me!

And praise and toast me at his wine.

My brother should sail a painted boat.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
