“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)

“We’ll set thee to school to an ant, to teach thee there’s no laboring i’ the winter.”

“I can smell
the blade that opens the hole
and the pudgy white fingers

that shake out the intestines
like a hankie.”
