“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A counterfeiting law-factory, standing half in a slave land and half in a free! What kind of laws for free men can you expect from that?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Constant you are,
But yet a woman, and for secrecy,
No lady closer, for I well believe
Thou wilt not utter what thou dost not know,
And so far will I trust thee, gentle Kate.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
