    “Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,

    Like fairy-gifts fading away.”

    “Hast not thy share? On winged feet,
    Lo! it rushes thee to meet;
    And all that Nature made thy own,
    Floating in air or pent in stone,
    Will rive the hills and swim the sea,
    And, like thy shadow, follow thee.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And not to us, but to thy arm alone
    Ascribe we all.”
