    “I think of no news to tell you. It is a serene summer day here, all above the snow. The hens steal their nests, and I steal their eggs still, as formerly. This is what I do with the hands. Ah, labor,—it is a divine institution, and conversation with many men and hens.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The Soul rules over matter. Matter may pass away like a mote in the sunbeam, may be absorbed into the immensity of God, as a mist is absorbed into the heat of the Sun—but the soul is the kingdom of God, the abode of love, of truth, of virtue.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I hear
    the tide turning. Last
    eager wave over-
    taken and pulled back
    by first wave of the ebb.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
