“For I thought of her grave below the hill,
Which the sentinel cypress tree stands over,
And I thought, “Were she only living still,
How I could forgive her, and love her!””
—“Owen” “Meredith” (1831–1891)
“A healthy soul stands united with the Just and the True, as the magnet arranges itself with the pole, so that he stands to all beholders like a transparent object betwixt them and the sun, and whoso journeys towards the sun, journeys towards that person. He is thus the medium of the highest influence to all who are not on the same level.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
