“Say, is there Beauty yet to find?
And Certainty? And Quiet kind?
Deep meadows yet, for to forget
The lies, and truths, and pain? . . . oh!
Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
And is there honey still for tea?”
—Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)

“It was a purely wild and primitive American sound, as much as the barking of a chickaree, and I could not understand a syllable of it.”
