    “Whatever does not spring from a man’s free choice, or is only the result of instruction and guidance, does not enter into his very being, but still remains alien to his true nature; he does not perform it with truly human energies, but merely with mechanical exactness.”
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)

    “The moon has nothing to be sad about,
    Staring from her hood of bone.

    Her blacks crackle and drag.”
