    Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
    The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
    At the North Pole. . .

    Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The state is suffering from two opposite vices, avarice and luxury; two plagues which, in the past, have been the ruin of every great empire.”
