    “All up and down the whole creation,
    Sadly I roam,
    Still longing for the old plantation,
    And for the old folks at home.”

    “I’m headed for a land that’s far away
    Beside the crystal fountains.

    The Big Rock Candy Mountains.”
    —Unknown. The Big Rock Candy Mountains (l. 5–8)

    “The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
