Up, heed thine own aim, and
God speed the mark!”

“We are constituted a good deal like chickens, which, taken from the hen, and put in a basket of cotton in the chimney-corner, will often peep till they die, nevertheless; but if you put in a book, or anything heavy, which will press down the cotton, and feel like the hen, they go to sleep directly.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“He took the paper, and I watched,
And saw him peep within;
At the first line he read, his face
Was all upon the grin.”
