    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A boy not beautiful, nor good, nor clever,
    A black cloud full of storms too hot for keeping,
    A sword beneath his mother’s heart— yet never
    Woman bewept her babe as this is weeping.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    Money won is twice as sweet as money earned.
    Richard Price (b. 1949)
