    “I regard a love for poetry as one of the most needful and helpful elements in the life- outfit of a human being. It was the greatest of blessings to me, in the long days of toil to which I was shut in much earlier than most young girls are, that the poetry I held in my memory breathed its enchanted atmosphere through me and around me, and touched even dull drudgery with its sunshine.”
    —Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

    “He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
