    “Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
    For these red lips, with all their mournful pride,
    Mournful that no new wonder may betide,
    Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,
    And Usna’s children died.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “It is an agreeable change to cross a lake, after you have been shut up in the woods, not only on account of the greater expanse of water, but also of sky. It is one of the surprises which Nature has in store for the traveler in the forest. To look down, in this case, over eighteen miles of water, was liberating and civilizing even.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
