    The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman:
    If it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole
    world.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Unloved, that beech will gather brown,
    This maple burn itself away;

    Unloved, the sun-flower, shining fair,
    Ray round with flames her disk of seed,
    And many a rose-carnation feed
    With summer spice the humming air;
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
