    The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Nae living man I’ll love again,
    Since that my lovely knight is slain.
    Wi ae lock of his yellow hair
    I’ll chain my heart for evermair.
    —Unknown. The Lament of the Border Widow (l. 25–28)

    I—though heart might find relief
    Did I become a Christian man and choose for my belief
    What seems most welcome in the tomb—play a predestined part.
    Homer is my example and his unchristened heart.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
