    “Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
    Loved the wood rose, and left it on its stalk?

    Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I came to love my rows, my beans, though so many more than I wanted. They attached me to the earth, and so I got strength like Antæus. But why should I raise them? Only Heaven knows.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
