“For it’s home, dearie, home—it’s home I want to be.
Our topsails are hoisted, and we’ll away to sea.

They’re all growing green in the old countrie.”
—William Ernest Henley (1849–1903)

“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)

“The country is holy: O bide in that country kind,
Know the green good,
Under the prayer wheeling moon in the rosy wood
Be shielded by chant and flower and gay may you
Lie in grace.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
