    Billy, in one of his nice new sashes,
    Fell in the fire and was burnt to ashes;
    —Harry Graham (1874–1936)

    I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One’s enough.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
