“by Spoon Rivergathering many a shell,
And many a flower and medicinal weed—
Shouting to the wooded hills, singing to the green valleys.
At ninety-six I had lived enough, that is all,
And passed to a sweet repose.”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Love begins like a triolet and ends like a college yell.”
