“Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

And the cold to an orchard so young in the bark
Reminds me of all that can happen to harm

And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.

And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
