Our sweetness, up into one ball:

Thorough the iron gates of life.
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.”

Underrated

The Duke of Plaza-Toro!”

“There is a certain class of unbelievers who sometimes ask me such questions as, if I think that I can live on vegetable food alone; and to strike at the root of the matter at once,—for the root is faith,—I am accustomed to answer such, that I can live on board nails. If they cannot understand that, they cannot understand much that I have to say.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
