—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
“Many a miner has gone
into the deep pit
to receive the dust of a kiss,
an ore-cell.”

“In my Pantheon, Pan still reigns in his pristine glory, with his ruddy face, his flowing beard, and his shaggy body, his pipe and his crook, his nymph Echo, and his chosen daughter Iambe; for the great god Pan is not dead, as was rumored.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
