“Science with its retorts would have put me to sleep; it was the opportunity to be ignorant that I improved. It suggested to me that there was something to be seen if one had eyes. It made a believer of me more than before. I believed that the woods were not tenantless, but choke-full of honest spirits as good as myself any day,—not an empty chamber, in which chemistry was left to work alone, but an inhabited house,—and for a few moments I enjoyed fellowship with them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We are put there beside the three thieves
for the lowest of us all
deserve to smile in eternity
like a watermelon.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Let’s face it, I have been momentary.
A luxury. A bright red sloop in the harbor,”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
