Quiet

    “Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures.”

    “I love thee to the level of everyday’s
    Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
    I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
    I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
    I love thee with the passion put to use
    In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “This quiet Dust was Gentlemen and Ladies,
    And Lads and Girls;”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
