    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “I have found that anything that comes out of the South is going to be called grotesque by the Northern reader, unless it is grotesque, in which case it is going to be called realistic.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “Life springs from death and from the graves of patriot men and women spring living nations.... They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools, they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves Ireland unfree shall never be at peace.”
    —Patrick Henry Pearse (1879–1916)
