“I cannot call Riches better than the baggage of virtue. The Roman word is better, impedimenta. For as the baggage is to an army, so is riches to virtue. It cannot be spared nor left behind, but it hindereth the march; yea and the care of it sometimes loseth or disturbeth the victory.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

“She saw
her five young children
writhe and die;
in that hour
she began to watch you,
she whose eyes are open forever.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
