“The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath—the beast, the tree, the man, they all share the same breath. The white man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man dying for many days, he is numb to the stench.”

“I think it better that in times like these
A poet’s mouth be silent, for in truth
We have no gift to set a statesman right.”
