    “Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
    Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,

    And recks not his own rede.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “It must have looked as if the course
    He steered was really straight away
    From that which he was headed for
    Not much concerned for them, I say;
    No more so than became a man
    And politician at odd seasons.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The worm artist
    out of soil, by passage
    of himself
    constructing.
    Castles of metaphor!”
