    “Love was as subtly catched, as a disease;
    But being got it is a treasure sweet,
    Which to defend is harder than to get:

    For though ‘tis got by chance, ‘tis kept by art.”
    —John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    “Out of Plato come all things that are still written and debated among men of thought. Great havoc makes among our originalities. We have reached the mountain from which all these drift boulders were detached.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Drab Habitation of Whom?
    Tabernacle or Tomb—
    Or Dome of Worm—
