“Tried by a New England eye, or the more practical wisdom of modern times, they are the oracles of a race already in its dotage; but held up to the sky, which is the only impartial and incorruptible ordeal, they are of a piece with its depth and serenity, and I am assured that they will have a place and significance as long as there is a sky to test them by.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“And if I pray, the only prayer
That moves my lips for me
Is—‘Leave the heart that now I bear,
And give me liberty.’”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
