    It is with unfathomable love, pure joy and no regret that we leave this world. Men, do not cry for our fate, but cry for your own.
    —Members of the Order of the Solar T.. New York Times, p. 1 (October l4, 1994)

    When the city gate catches fire, it’s the fish in the moat who suffer.
    Chinese proverb.

    O City city, I can sometimes hear
    Beside a public bar in Lower Thames Street,
    The pleasant whining of a mandolin
    And a clatter and a chatter from within
    Where fishmen lounge at noon.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.
    Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
