    “This house was but a slight departure from the hollow tree, which the bear still inhabits,—being a hollow made with trees piled up, with a coating of bark like its original.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “So hills and valleys into singing break;
    And though poor stones have neither speech nor tongue,
    While active winds and streams both run and speak,
    Yet stones are deep in admiration.
    Thus praise and prayer here beneath the Sun
    Make lesser mornings when the great are done.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “But when the self speaks to the self, who is speaking?—the entombed soul, the spirit driven in, in, in to the central catacomb; the self that took the veil and left the world—a coward perhaps, yet somehow beautiful, as it flits with its lantern restlessly up and down the dark corridors.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “It was Mabbie without the grammar school gates.
    And Mabbie was all of seven.
    And Mabbie was cut from a chocolate bar.
    And Mabbie thought life was heaven.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)
