    “It is not their bones or hide or tallow that I love most. It is the living spirit of the tree, not its spirit of turpentine, with which I sympathize, and which heals my cuts. It is as immortal as I am, and perchance will go to as high a heaven, there to tower above me still.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Boys hide in lunging cubes
    Crouching to explode,
    Beyond the Atlantic skies,
    With cheerful cries
    Their barking tubes
    Upon the German toad.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “I’m getting bored with it,
    I tell the typewriter,
    this constantly walking around
    in wet shoes and then, surprise!
    Somehow DECEASED keeps getting
    stamped in red over the word HOPE.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
