—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 27:10.
“... a family I know ... bought an acre in the country on which to build a house. For many years, while they lacked the money to build, they visited the site regularly and picnicked on a knoll, the sites most attractive feature. They liked so much to visualize themselves as always there, that when they finally built they put the house on the knoll. But then the knoll was gone. Somehow they had not realized they would destroy it and lose it by supplanting it with themselves.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“You are disdainful and magnificent
Your perfect body and your pompous gait,
Your dark eyes flashing solemnly with hate,”
—Helene Johnson (b. 1907)
“When the hounds of spring are on winters traces,
The mother of months in meadow or plain
Fills the shadows and windy places
With lisp of leaves and ripple of rain;”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
