“Theres not a man or woman
Born under the skies
Dare match in learning with us two,
And all day long we have found
Theres not a thing but love can make
The world a narrow pound.”

Undid me. By Richmond I raised my knees

My feet are at Moorgate, and my heart
Under my feet.”

“After reading Howitts account of the Australian gold-diggings one evening,... I asked myself why I might not be washing some gold daily, though it were only the finest particles,why I might not sink a shaft down to the gold within me, and work that mine.... At any rate, I might pursue some path, however solitary and narrow and crooked, in which I could walk with love and reverence.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
