“Unbreachable the fort
Of the long-batter’d world uplifts its wall;
And strange and vain the earthly turmoil grows,
And near and real the charm of thy repose,
And night as welcome as a friend would fall.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“We cannot well do without our sins; they are the highway of our virtue.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
