“Most Gracious Queen, we thee implore
To go away and sin no more,
But if that effort be too great,
To go away at any rate.”
—Anonymous. “On Queen Caroline,” in Diary and Correspondence of Lord Colchester (1861)
““... Anne has a way with flowers to take the place
Of what she’s lost: she goes down on one knee
And lifts their faces by the chin to hers
And says their names, and leaves them where they are.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I rejoice that horses and steers have to be broken before they can be made the slaves of men, and that men themselves have some wild oats still left to sow before they become submissive members of society. Undoubtedly, all men are not equally fit subjects for civilization; and because the majority, like dogs and sheep, are tame by inherited disposition, this is no reason why the others should have their natures broken that they may be reduced to the same level.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
