    If the Union is now dissolved it does not prove that the experiment of popular government is a failure.... But the experiment of uniting free states and slaveholding states in one nation is, perhaps, a failure.... There probably is an “irrepressible conflict” between freedom and slavery. It may as well be admitted, and our new relations may as be formed with that as an admitted fact.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    Betray, kind husband, Thy spouse to our sights,
    And let mine amorous soul court Thy mild Dove,
    Who is most true and pleasing to Thee then

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
