    for a flower has grown,

    “Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
    We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
    Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
    And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
    Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
    The first cat that was ever killed by Care.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    “In countries where associations are free, secret societies are unknown. In America there are factions, but no conspiracies.”
