It is unquestionably one of the noblest and most sacred scriptures which have come down to us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“At the extreme north, the voyagers are obliged to dance and act plays for employment.”

“And all your deeds and words,
Each truth, each lie,
Die in unjudging love.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“Happy a while in Paradise they lay;
But quickly woman longed to go astray:
Some foolish new adventure needs must prove,
And the first devil she saw, she chang’d her love:
To his temptations, lewdly she inclined
Her soul, and, for an apple, damn’d mankind.”
—Thomas Otway (1652–1685)
