“But oh, not the hills of Habersham,
And oh, not the valleys of Hall
Avail: I am fain for to water the plain.
Downward, the voices of Duty call—
Downward, to toil and be mixed with the main,
The dry fields burn, and the mills are to turn,
And a myriad flowers mortally yearn,
And the lordly main from beyond the plain
Calls o’er the hills of Habersham,
Calls through the valleys of Hall.”
—Sidney Lanier (1842–1881)
“You turn
To speak to someone beside the dock and the lighthouse
Shines like garnets. It has become a stricture.”

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
