    “Though the hen should sit all day, she could lay only one egg, and, besides, would not have picked up materials for another.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Hast ever ben in Omaha
    Where rolls the dark Missouri down,
    Where four strong horses scarce can draw
    An empty wagon through the town?
    Where sand is blown from every mound
    To fill your eyes and ears and throat;
    Where all the steamboats are aground,
    And all the houses are afloat?...
    If not, take heed to what I say,
    You’ll find it just as I have found it;
    And if it lies upon your way
    For God’s sake, reader, go around it!”
    —For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
