    “At the earliest ending of winter,
    In March, a scrawny cry from outside
    Seemed like a sound in his mind.
    He knew that he heard it,
    A bird’s cry, at daylight or before,
    In the early March wind.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The life of mind is best and pleasantest for man, since mind more than anything else is man. This life therefore is also the happiest.”
    —Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
