“Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire:
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moones sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“If Heaven a draught of heavenly pleasure spare,
One cordial in this melancholy vale,
‘T is when a youthful, loving, modest pair
In other’s arms breathe out the tender tale,”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)

“[M]y conception of liberty does not permit an individual citizen or a group of citizens to commit acts of depredation against nature in such a way as to harm their neighbors and especially to harm the future generations of Americans.

—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
