—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

She may entangle in that golden snare:”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
“The trial by market everything must come to.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The great thing in the world is not so much to seek happiness as to earn peace and self-respect.”

“O Russia! O my wife! Our long and narrow Road lies clear though distressed.
Our road with an old Tatar freedom’s arrow Has deeply pierced our breast.”
—Alexander Blok (1880–1921)
