Breathes vineyards and pomegranates: oh, how sweet!
As a fired altar is each stone,
Perspiring pounded cinnamon.
The phoenix-nest,
Built up of odours, burneth in her breast.
Who therein would not consume
His soul to ash-heaps in that rich perfume,”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

“We cannot but pity the boy who has never fired a gun; he is no more humane, while his education has been sadly neglected.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
