“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us.

—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)

“Wordsworth went to the Lakes, but he was never a lake poet. He found in stones the sermons he had already hidden there.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“At last now you can be
What the old cannot recall
And the young long for in dreams,
Yet still include them all.”
